To evaluate the impact of caregiver education and involvement during hospitalization on coping.

Main Methods:

Longitudinal study assessing relatives' knowledge and anxieties at 72 hours, discharge, and 6 months post-discharge.
Intervention involved providing information and encouraging patient care participation during hospitalization.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Relatives reported managing practical caregiving tasks effectively.
All relatives experienced significant emotional difficulties in caring for stroke patients.

Conclusions:

While practical care skills improve, emotional support for caregivers remains a critical unmet need.
Further interventions focusing on the emotional aspects of stroke caregiving are warranted.
