“…The details of their neuropsychiatric symptomatology have been previously reported. 10 Although many instruments are available to measure caregiver burden in stroke, 11 we assessed using the Burden Assessment Schedule (BAS-20). 12 This scale was developed and validated in the Indian population to assess the caregiving burden in chronic mental health disorders.…”

Introduction: Caring for young stroke survivors presents challenges for carers. Little is known about the burden experienced by them. Aim: In this study, we estimated the caregiving burden among carers of young stroke survivors and explored its patterns and determinants. Methods: One hundred and fifty young stroke survivors (aged <45 years at index stroke) and their caregivers were recruited in this hospital-based cross-sectional study, three or more months from the stroke. We estimated the burden of caregiving using Burden Assessment Schedule-20 (BAS). Cognitive status, physical disability, and neuropsychiatric symptoms were evaluated using standard instruments. We used descriptive statistics and performed multivariate analysis for factors associated with high burden. We used STATA ver. 14.2, Stata Corp, TX, USA. Results: The median age of caregivers was 37.5 years (IQR 12) and 98 (65.3%) were women. The carers were most often spouses (101; 67.3%). The median total BAS score was 28 (IQR 12). Most carers (127; 84.7%) experienced some burden while 15 (10%; 95%CI: 5.2%–14.8%) reported high burden. The most common domain of burden was relationships with others (105; 70%) and marital relationships (66; 65%). Dementia (OR: 2.55; 95%CI: 1.07–6.07) and the presence of neuropsychiatric symptoms (OR: 7.62 95%CI: 2.94–19.81) were associated with an increased burden of caregiving. Conclusion: Most caregivers of young stroke survivors experience some burden, with interpersonal relationships being the most common domain. Dementia and neuropsychiatric symptoms are associated with increased burden.

“…The past two decades have witnessed a changing landscape of stroke in that stroke survivors are becoming younger, more physically active, and suffer from neurologically milder impairments 4 . Although these younger stroke survivors likely suffer less severe neurological impairments in domains of quality of life such as motor, speech, and mobility, the occurrence of neuropsychiatric symptoms is common among them 5 . Around one-third of stroke survivors suffer from persistent deficits in engagement, autonomy, and fulfilling societal roles 6 .…”

The present study examined the psychometric properties of the 12-item Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SSQOL-12) in 184 stroke survivors in Hong Kong. The participants completed a self-report questionnaire including the SSQOL-12, SF-12 health survey, and validating variables at baseline and 148 stroke survivors completed SSQOL-12 two months later. Confirmatory factor analysis investigated the construct validity, reliability, and measurement invariance of SSQOL-12 across two months. Concurrent, convergent, and divergent validity was examined with respect to SF-12, hope, self-esteem, functional disability, anxiety, and depression. The original 2-factor model did not reveal a superior fit over the 1-factor model and a modified 1-factor model provided an acceptable fit to the data in both waves. The SSQOL-12 factor displayed substantial factor loadings (λ = 0.40–0.87), good internal consistency (Ω = 0.88), temporal stability (r = 0.70), and scalar measurement invariance across time. Stroke-specific quality of life was significantly associated with higher levels of SF-12, hope, and self-esteem and lower levels of functional disability, anxiety, and depression. Most correlations remained significant after controlling for demographic covariates and SF-12. The present findings offered empirical support for the validity and reliability of the unidimensional structure for SSQOL-12 as a measure of stroke-specific quality of life among stroke survivors.
