“…36 Qualitative research with mild stroke survivors and spousal caregivers also suggests adjustments to lifestyle are made and caregivers feel the need to be vigilant. 37 As a result, caregivers may require more guidance managing the emotional and cognitive consequences of stroke and more guidance on managing and adjusting to life with a mild stroke than is routinely provided by the healthcare system. 38 Our findings also suggest that when caregivers gain personally as a result of providing care have high levels of mastery, are in good physical health, and provide higher levels of assistance; they report better psychological well-being.…”

“…and particularly those of people with post-stroke communication difficulties, also report growing isolation that may mirror the diminished social activity and social participation of the person directly experiencing the stroke [24,26,28].
