"I've never experienced this before, I don't know what I need"- a qualitative study on social support and self-care during the first year after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Early supported discharge can be beneficial for aneurysmal subarachnoid (aSAH) patients, including a discharge plan with documented responsibility for continuing rehabilitation and information on follow-ups.Generic rehabilitation programs need to be adapted to a person-centered approach due to the large variation in aSAH patients' support needs and self-care abilities.When planning educational efforts for aSAH patients, the use of a workshop format in the company of others affected is suggested, to share experiences and increase the sense of self-efficacy.
