Abstract

This study explored the lived experiences of family caregivers for stroke survivors with memory impairments in Metro Cebu, Philippines, using a qualitative design. In-depth semi-structured interviews with six caregivers were analyzed using Yin's five-phase thematic analysis. Three key themes emerged: (1) Nurturing Patient Well-Being, highlighting the emotional and physical demands of caregiving; (2) Navigating the Trials of Caregiving, detailing the emotional, psychological, and financial challenges caregivers face; and (3) Altered Life Course, illustrating the lifestyle changes and coping mechanisms employed. The findings emphasize the need for structured support systems and tailored caregiving guidelines for occupational therapists to assist caregivers.
