Abstract
Language is a means of transferring information, and the ability to communicate has a fundamental meaning to every human being. Loss of the ability or deterioration of communication in people with Broca’s aphasia affects their psychosocial functioning. The aim of this research was to obtain information on the subjective evaluation of the quality of communication of people with this type of aphasia. A group of 22 patients with Broca’s aphasia caused by ischemic stroke was included in the study. A diagnostic survey method was used, along with own study questionnaire research tool (Communication Quality Assessment Questionnaire). Socio-demographic data of the patients was recorded. The results of the study showed that almost all patients with Broca’s aphasia negatively assess their own communication capabilities and also feel they are negatively perceived by their surroundings because of their communication difficulties. Dissatisfaction with the quality of the communication prevents the subjects from maintaining satisfactory contacts with other people.
