“…Previous studies [20][21][22] reported that people with disabilities, including poststroke patients, in China and Taiwan had diminished expectations of their independence. Wang et al 22 explained that family members tend to provide too much assistance in self-care activities performed by the patients. After the onset of stroke, as primary caregivers, family members tended to overprotect poststroke patients by assisting them in their BADL tasks.…”

Patients' intention of independence positively affected motor recovery, while family members' positive attitudes promoted cognitive regain. The findings suggested plausible age-related differences in how patients' intentions affect emotion versus self-care independence outcomes. Future studies should explore strategies for promoting positive attitudes toward independence among patients and family members during poststroke rehabilitation.

“…Informal caregiving may also have negative consequences. Patients' self-care behaviour may decrease with higher levels of caring behaviour from informal caregivers [15]. Informal caregivers can be overprotective [16], and COPD patients living together with an informal caregiver may be more dependent in instrumental activities of daily living [14].…”

The burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on society is increasing. Healthcare systems should support patients with COPD in achieving an optimal quality of life, while limiting the costs of care. As a consequence, a shift from hospital care to home care seems inevitable. Therefore, patients will have to rely to a greater extent on informal caregivers. Patients with COPD as well as their informal caregivers are confronted with multiple limitations in activities of daily living. The presence of an informal caregiver is important to provide practical help and emotional support. However, caregivers can be overprotective, which can make patients more dependent. Informal caregiving may lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, social isolation and a changed relationship with the patient. The caregivers' subjective burden is a major determinant of the impact of caregiving. Therefore, the caregiver's perception of the patient's health is an important factor. This article reviews the current knowledge about these informal caregivers of patients with COPD, the impact of COPD on their lives and their perception of the patient's health status. @ERSpublications Informal caregivers play important roles: their needs should be part of research and clinical care for COPD patients http://ow.ly/PSl7F
