Identification and Applications of Key Elements in the Development of Pictorial Support for People With Aphasia After Stroke: A Co‐Design Approach
Background Access to health information is essential to ensure safe, person‐centred care and shared decision‐making. Following a stroke, communication difficulties, such as aphasia, often cause barriers to communication with healthcare staff and risk worsening the quality of care. Adaptations to make written information more accessible for persons with aphasia often include pictures. However, guidelines on creating pictorial support for persons with aphasia are limited. This study aimed to (1) identify key elements to consider when developing pictorial support to aid communicative accessibility and (2) co‐design an accessible pictorial support for the follow‐up tools, Post‐Stroke Checklist and the pre‐visit tool Stroke Health, together with stakeholders. Methods Six persons with aphasia, a patient‐partner with stroke, and eighteen stroke healthcare professionals were involved to co‐design a pictorial support. Stakeholders were engaged via interviews, e‐mail surveys and consensus workshops. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results A reflexive thematic analysis resulted in two main themes and four sub‐themes. First, ‘Aspects to consider in the design of pictures in pictorial support’: The importance of being able to relate to pictures and Interpretation of pictorial support is complex and pictures risk becoming barriers if not carefully illustrated. Second, ‘The contextual use of pictorial support’: Pictures must correspond closely to the text, and Communication partner skills are important to enhance the use of pictorial support. The analysis also resulted in a list of key elements to consider when developing pictorial support. Conclusions Findings highlight the importance of pictures being relatable and closely matching the written information. Identified key elements can be used as principles in the future development of pictorial support in different settings. Patient or Public Contribution Both persons with lived experience of stroke and aphasia and healthcare professionals within stroke rehabilitation contributed to the design process. This involvement included individual interviews, e‐mail surveys and one consulting group discussion. A patient‐partner with stroke was engaged in all workshops where feedback was discussed before deciding on revisions to proceed with. The final version of the pictorial support has been presented to stakeholders at a patient organisation, contributing to the recruitment of participants and facilitating rooms for interviews.

Ellen Kooi Above Rotterdam
High above the streets of Rotterdam, on cold winter nights, during early spring evenings, and dusky autumn days; five situations were staged and captured by artist Ellen Kooi, inside the B' Tower in Rotterdam, by architect Wiel Arets. Nearly each apartment is identical, which lends a receded repetition to the 'stage sets' Kooi created, in the tradition of her renowned landscape photography. In Kooi's 'sets', a sleeping young girl cuddles with whimsical Weimaraners; a lonely business man digitally pines for his distant love; a young couple saunters and seduces one another, inside and out; an informal dinner gathering morphs into an impromptu musical; a mother creates a dream world for her and her children, high above Rotterdam's streets. Interspersed throughout Kooi's sets of imagery are separately created scenes of poetry and prose, by artist Katrien Van den Brande, which alternate with Kooi's narratives–all graphically woven together by a design from Mainstudio. This publication is a two-dimensional immersion into a parallel urban reality, that's at once fantasy and fiction–yet remarkably familiar.
