The experience of partners of young stroke survivors
Disability & Rehabilitation, 10/05/09

Buschenfeld K et al. – The study extends knowledge by demonstrating the enduring effects of caring on domestic tasks, relationship with survivor, family roles, employment and social life. Trauma from the stroke event and its immediate aftermath persisted over years. Caring impacted on the partners' sense of self and identity, and positive as well as negative effects were noted. Coping was primarily problem–focussed and previous experiences, social comparison and social support were important. Implications for community support services are discussed.
