Stroke family caregivers often neglect their own health while providing care. Rigorous reviews have focused on stroke caregiver needs and outcomes; however, a comprehensive review of stroke caregiver health is lacking. The purpose of this integrative review was to determine factors associated with stroke family caregiver health. Using a PRISMA flow diagram and Rayyan software, 41 studies were identified published from January 2000 to December 2020. Databases included Cochrane Reviews, Cochrane Trials, PsycINFO, Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, EBSCOhost MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL. Rigorous guidelines were used to critique the 41 articles. Health measures were global in nature, lacking details regarding health promotion activities important to stroke family caregiver health. Common factors associated with caregiver health were depressive symptoms and burden. Further research is needed to design more situation-specific instruments to measure stroke family caregiver health, as well as interventions to reduce depressive symptoms and burden while promoting caregiver health.
