TLDR
A systematic review of the existing nursing and allied-health literature aimed at the impact of stroke survivors' physical disability on the presence of caregiver burden was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines as discussed by the authors .Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Caregiver burden associated with caring for stroke survivors remains a prominent issue in nursing. With stroke being a leading cause of disability worldwide, it is essential that the impact of the stroke survivor's physical disability be analyzed so interventions can be developed to relieve related caregiver burden. The purpose of this systematic review is to review the existing nursing and allied-health literature aimed at the impact of stroke survivors' physical disability on the presence of caregiver burden. METHODS: A systematic review of the CINAHL® and PubMed databases was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines (searched on June 16, 2021). Study inclusion criteria for this review were as follows: (1) publication in the last 5 years, (2) examined the impact of stroke survivors' physical disability on caregiver burden, (3) caregiver-survivor dyads 18 years or older, (4) published in English, and (5) longitudinal study designs (an exception for reports that present findings not demonstrated in longitudinal studies). Data extracted from articles included sample characteristics, study design, instruments, analyses, and results. RESULTS: A total of 7 studies met the inclusion criteria and were synthesized for use in this systematic review. These studies implemented a variety of instruments to assess for both physical disability in the stroke patient and caregiver burden. A positive correlation between physical disability and caregiver burden was universally reported. CONCLUSION: Further nursing research is warranted to explore the aspects of physical disability that contribute to caregiver burden and to develop interventions to improve the physical functioning of stroke survivors, include social determinants of health, and specifically address the greatest contributors to caregiver burden. read more

Study on the Cutoff Value of Backward Walking Speed to Distinguish the Mobility Deficits of Stroke Patients
TL;DR: In this article , the diagnostic efficacy of backward maximum walking speed and backward comfortable walking speed (BCWS) on mobility defects in stroke patients and obtain the cutoff values of them were evaluated. But it is not clear whether it can screen stroke patients with mobility disorders.

Cerebral vascular accidents in patients over the age of 60. II. Prognosis.
TL;DR: A survey was carried out on a number of 'untreated' cases seen shortly after the onset of a cerebral vascular accident, with particular reference to the presence of signs which had prognostic value, to enable the investigator to assess the results of specific forms of treatment.

Validation of a Caregiver Strain Index.
TL;DR: Results indicate that the CSI is a brief, easily administered instrument which identified strain within the authors' sample of informal care providers, and might be usefully included in any interview or assessment package that examines intergenerational relations involving dependency and care.
