Zusammenfassung

Aphasia is understood as the expressive and/or receptive language alteration caused by brain damage. This disorder has a high prevalence affecting 21%-38% of patients that suffer a cerebrovascular accident. The language areas can be affected in different ways depending on the type of damage that the patient suffers (etiology, spreading, location) and personal factors (personality, intellectual factors, motivation) creating difficulties of different grades in his/her communicative capacity. In spite of the high prevalence of this disorder, the knowledge of the term "aphasia" in society is highly unknown in relation to other neurological disorders of less incidence and prevalence, such as the Parkinson`s disease or the multiple sclerosis. Aphasia can become the more devastating cognitive deficit secondary to the cardiovascular accident. This is to the point that some patients consider that they have lost their personal identity because of the language alteration, creating feelings of anxiety and disability that affect all the areas of their life . This article tries to explain what the aphasia is, which are the main aphasic symptoms and its most important characteristics, using a connectionist model. Its main aim is to provide information. This is mainly to help the nurse communicate in the best effective way, taking advantage of the abilities that the patient keeps and to give way to the development of the nursing care with aphasic person.
