“…In contrast, an American study found that increased caregiver burden is more closely correlated with lack of time for self. 858 Smith and colleagues 859 found that the caregiver needs varied as a function of age. Younger caregivers want information and training and are more inclined to criticize the healthcare system, whereas older caregivers need support to maintain a positive outlook and are less inclined to criticize the healthcare system.…”

e98Purpose-The aim of this guideline is to provide a synopsis of best clinical practices in the rehabilitative care of adults recovering from stroke. Methods-Writing group members were nominated by the committee chair on the basis of their previous work in relevant topic areas and were approved by the American Heart Association (AHA) Stroke Council's Scientific Statement Oversight Committee and the AHA's Manuscript Oversight Committee. The panel reviewed relevant articles on adults using computerized searches of the medical literature through 2014. The evidence is organized within the context of the AHA framework and is classified according to the joint AHA/American College of Cardiology and supplementary AHA methods of classifying the level of certainty and the class and level of evidence. The document underwent extensive AHA internal and external peer review, Stroke Council Leadership review, and Scientific Statements Oversight Committee review before consideration and approval by the AHA Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee. Results-Stroke rehabilitation requires a sustained and coordinated effort from a large team, including the patient and his or her goals, family and friends, other caregivers (eg, personal care attendants), physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, recreation therapists, psychologists, nutritionists, social workers, and others. Communication and coordination among these team members are paramount in maximizing the effectiveness

“…Furthermore, a statistically significant (p≤0.05) correlation between caregivers' ages and perceptions of social support was noticed. In other words, the older the caregiver, the greater his/her perception of social support (27) . In the present study, the variable age only presented a correlation to the material dimension of the social support questionnaire.…”

Estudo descritivo, transversal, cujo objetivo foi analisar a associação entre as dimensões de apoio social e o perfil de cuidadores familiares de pacientes com dependência. Entrevistaram-se 110 cuidadores, utilizando os seguintes instrumentos: questionário de caracterização sociodemográfica, Social Network Index , Medical Outcomes Study e Índice de Barthel. Os testes U de Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis foram usados para comparar as dimensões de apoio social e as variáveis qualitativas, e a correlação de Spearman para as variáveis quantitativas. Cuidadores que não sabiam ler nunca haviam estudado apresentaram melhor percepção de apoio social em todas as dimensões, exceto na afetiva. Na dimensão interação positiva, aqueles que possuíam companheiro e negaram sobrecarga apresentaram média superior a dos demais grupos. O número de familiares e amigos apresentou correlação com todas as dimensões de apoio social. Os resultados indicam que a rede social é importante para a percepção de apoio.

Background:Caring for stroke patients leads to caregiver (CG) strain. The aims of this study are to identify factors related to increased CG burden in stroke survivors in a census-defined population and to assess the relationship between patient characteristics and CG stress.Materials and Methods:In a prospective population-based study, 223 first ever stroke (FES) were identified over a 1-year period. At 28 days, 127 (56.9%) were alive and 79 (35%) died, and 17 were lost to follow-up. One hundred and eleven CGs of 127 FES survivors agreed to participate. The level of stress was assessed by two scales: Oberst Caregiving Burden Scale (OCBS) and the Caregivers Strain Index (CSI) in CGs of survivors with mild stroke Modified Rankin Scale (MRS 1-2) and in those with significant disability (MRS 3-5).Results:The mean age of CGs was 45.6 years, approximately 22 years younger than that of the patients (67.5 years). Eighty-nine (80%) of the CGs were females and only 22 (20%) were males. Urinary incontinence (P=0.000008), morbidity at 28 days by MRS (P=0.0051), female gender (P=0.0183) and moderate to severe neurological deficit by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on admission (P=0.0254) were factors in FES cases leading to major CGs stress. CG factors responsible for major stress were long caregiving hours (P≤0.000001), anxiety (P≤0.000001), disturbed night sleep (P≤0.000001), financial stress (P=0.0000108), younger age (P=0.0021) and CGs being daughter-in-laws (P=0.012).Conclusion:Similar studies using uniform methodologies would help to identify factors responsible for major CG stress. Integrated stroke rehabilitation services should address CG issues to local situations and include practical training in simple nursing skills and counseling sessions to help reduce CG burden.
