BACKGROUND: In the context of increasing incidence of stroke in working aged adults, there is a specific need to explore the views of working aged adults with post-stroke aphasia, whose communication difficulties may result in restricted social participation, loss of employment and changed relationship and parenting roles. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of working aged adults with post-stroke aphasia in relation to social participation and living well with aphasia (LWA). DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: We conducted qualitative interviews with 14 people with post-stroke aphasia (PWA). Data were analysed following principles of reflexive, thematic analysis. Patient or Public Contribution: A Public and Patient Involvement aphasia advisory group inputted into the study design and interpretation of data. RESULTS: Social participation spanned 5 themes: Relationships and roles; Social support; Peer network, Aphasia awareness; and Employment and training. Meaningful, interesting social participation for LWA is individually defined. Working aged PWA may require flexible support with parenting, accessing a diverse social network and finding opportunities for meaningful social connection, training and employment. CONCLUSIONS: The findings extend knowledge of social participation in the context of LWA for working aged adults by elucidating the individually defined nature of meaningful participation and how PWA may need flexible support with parenting, accessing a diverse social network and training and employment. For aphasia research, policy and services to be relevant, it is crucial that working aged PWA are meaningfully involved in setting the aphasia agenda.
