Abstract

Background: Individuals having experienced a stroke need the help of an individual to perform their activities of daily living. Therefore, the disease affects not only patients but also their caregivers.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate how aphasia affects caregivers' burden of care, quality of life, and occupational performance.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved Group 1, (n=51) the caregivers of individuals having experienced a stroke with aphasia, and Group 2 (n = 51), the caregivers of individuals having experienced a stroke without aphasia. The caregivers were evaluated using the sociodemographic information form, the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale, the SF-36 Short Form, and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure tests.

Results: Our study found that the caregiver burden in Group 1 was higher than in Group 2 (t = 3.8, p = 0.01). Caregivers in Group 1 also had higher pain levels (t = -2.21, p = 0.029) and lower social functions than those in Group 2 (t = -2.54, p = 0.013). There was no statistically significant difference between the other sub-parameters of quality of life (p > 0.05). It was observed that the occupational performance (t = -3.31, p = 0.001) and satisfaction levels (t = -3.57, p = 0.001) of the caregivers in Group 1 were lower than those of the caregivers in Group 2.

Conclusions: Occupational therapy evaluation and intervention programs for caregivers should consider the occupational performance of caregivers of individuals with aphasia and include approaches to problem areas.

期刊介绍: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation is the leading journal devoted to the study and dissemination of interdisciplinary, evidence-based, clinical information related to stroke rehabilitation. The journal’s scope covers physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology, neurorehabilitation, neural engineering and therapeutics, neuropsychology and cognition, optimization of the rehabilitation system, robotics and biomechanics, pain management, nursing, physical therapy, cardiopulmonary fitness, mobility, occupational therapy, speech pathology and communication. There is a particular focus on stroke recovery, improving rehabilitation outcomes, quality of life, activities of daily living, motor control, family and care givers, and community issues. The journal reviews and reports clinical practices, clinical trials, state-of-the-art concepts, and new developments in stroke research and patient care. Both primary research papers, reviews of existing literature, and invited editorials, are included. Sharply-focused, single-issue topics, and the latest in clinical research, provide in-depth knowledge.
