Abstract

This study examined the health-related quality of life (HRQL) and overall quality of life (QOL) of family caregivers of stroke survivors to determine changes over time and to identify QOL predictors. Caregivers were interviewed after 1.5 and 2 years of caregiving. The scores on the mental subscales were significantly lower than on the age- and sex-matched population norms. The most important predictors of QOL were the stroke survivor's behavioral disturbances and reintegration into normal patterns of living. Caregivers who reported fewer stroke-survivor behavioral disturbances and well-adjusted reintegration also reported a higher personal QOL. These results highlight the impact of a stroke on the caregiver's HRQL and QOL, even after 2 years, and the importance of interventions for caregivers.
脑卒中后长期照护:对照护者生活质量的影响
本研究检查了中风幸存者家庭照顾者的健康相关生活质量(HRQL)和总体生活质量(QOL),以确定随时间的变化并确定生活质量预测因子。照顾者在照顾1.5年和2年后接受采访。心理量表的得分明显低于年龄和性别匹配的人群标准。生活质量最重要的预测指标是中风幸存者的行为障碍和重新融入正常生活模式。报告较少中风幸存者行为障碍和适应良好的重返社会的护理人员也报告了较高的个人生活质量。这些结果强调了中风对护理人员HRQL和QOL的影响,甚至在2年后,以及干预对护理人员的重要性。
