Скачать или смотреть Importance of Stroke Partner / Spouse / Caregiver Self Care Part 3 - Support Resources

As the majority of stroke survivors will eventually return home. We the stroke survivors, must depend on our spouses, partners, and family members or close friends to take on the role of care giver.

Seventy six percent of caregivers report the first few months after returning home are the most stressful. Predictors of poor stroke-related care-giving outcomes were emotional distress, low benefit appraisal, high task difficulty, and high threat appraisal. Findings suggest potential areas for multidimensional caregiver interventions.
