“…First, caregiver burden was the strongest predictor, which explained 70.3% of variations in health status of caregivers of stroke survivors. This finding was consistent with previous stroke caregiving literature (Caro et al, ; Costa et al, ). Greenwood, Mackenzie, Cloud, and Wilson () conducted a systematic review of stroke family caregivers and found that the burden of caregiving negatively impacted and predicted their physical and psychosocial well‐being.…”

“…Most of the findings in this study were consistent with those from previous investigations in the family caregiver literature (Costa et al, ; McLennon, Bakas, Jess up, Habermann, & Weaver, ; Yu et al, ). In the current study, the majority of caregivers of stroke survivors were female (71.4%).…”

“…Despite the global advancement in stroke treatment and care, recent literature has reported that 40–60% of stroke survivors experience moderate‐to‐severe disabilities that require rehabilitative or long term care (Van Mierlo, van Heugten, Post, Hoekstra, & Visser‐Meily, ). As a result, stroke survivors rely heavily on their families for ongoing care, recovery, and even palliative care over long periods (Costa, Costa, Martins, Fernandes, & Brito, ; Hayashi, Hai, & Tai, ; Kable, Pond, Baker, Turner, & Levi, ). These caregiving roles could increase stress on caregivers, thus having a negative consequence on their health status (Em et al, ).…”

In this cross‐sectional study, we aimed to determine factors influencing the health status of caregivers of stroke survivors. A total of 126 caregivers of stroke survivors were recruited from three outpatient clinics in Thai Nguyen National General Hospital, Vietnam, from November 2016 to March 2017. Data were collected through six instruments: a demographic questionnaire, the Modified Barthel Index, the Zarit Burden Interview Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Family Caregiver Conflict Scale, and the Short Form‐36 Health Survey. Stepwise multiple regression was employed to analyze the data. Caregiver burden, patient's functional status, caregiver's age, and social support together explained 80.3% of the variations in health status of caregivers of stroke survivors. Caregiver burden was the strongest predictor of health status of these caregivers. Based on the findings, nurses should take caregiver's age, functional status of stroke survivors, caregiver burden, and social support into consideration when preparing family caregivers to provide care for stroke survivors. To reduce perceived caregiver burden, family support interventions should be embraced to enhance health status of the caregivers of stroke survivors.

“…Many national studies highlight factors related to the overload of caregivers. Among these, stand out: those related to clinical conditions of the older adults and their functional capacity; those related to the caregiver, such as female gender, age, low educational level, and feelings of having to fulfill a costly and tense-inducing obligation; and those related to the demands of care, how to live with the older adult, the type of task undertaken, the little emotional, financial and instrumental support they receive, the accumulation of functions, and full-time care (8,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) . International studies indicate factors influencing overload: the behavioral problems of the older adult, dependence, age of the caregivers, individualization of the family, daily care, inadequate social support, and financial demands (15)(16)(17)(18)(19) .…”

et al. 2017

Objective: To analyze the association between filial responsibility and the overload of the children when caring for their older parents. Method: Cross-sectional study with 100 caregiver children of older adults. Filial liability was assessed by the attitudes of the responsible child (scale of expectation and filial duty) and by care behaviors (assistance in activities of daily living, emotional and financial support, and keeping company). The overload was assessed by the Caregiver Burden Inventory. To assess the associations, the correlation coefficients of Pearson and Spearman, Kruskal-Wallis Test, and Mann-Whitney were employed. Variables that presented p-value<0.20 in the bivariate analysis were inserted in a multivariate linear regression model. Results: The factors associated with overload were: formal employment (p=0.002), feelings regarding family life (p<0.001), financial support (p=0.027), and assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) (p<0.001). Conclusion: Children who were more involved with the ADLs and provided financial support showed higher levels of overload.

“…It is a stressful activity [1][2] that imposes an important burden on caregivers and families. [3][4][5] Family caregivers usually dedicate long periods of time meeting the physical, social and emotional needs of recipients of care, a situation that imposes restrictions on their own lives 6 in such a way that they neglect their own self-care and interests.…”

Objective: this study's aim was to estimate the content validity of nursing outcomes in relation to family caregivers.Method: eleven Brazilian and Colombian experts participated in the study. None of the 61 indicators of the four nursing outcomes were considered irrelevant; 42 (68.9%) were considered primary and 19 (31.1%) were considered secondary.Results: the indicators with higher validity scores were: family share care responsibilities for Caregiver well-being (CVI=0.85); disruption of family dynamics to Caregiver lifestyle disruption (CVI=0.85); perceived spiritual well-being and anger for Caregiver emotional health (CVI=0.79) and perceived general health to Caregiver physical health (CVI=0.79).Conclusion: the nursing outcomes studied had adequate content validity. It is recommended that content validation followed by clinical and construct validation of the nursing-sensitive outcomes be given in different cultures and care settings.
