Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the level of depression, anxiety and quality of life in primary caregivers for the severe stroke patients. Method: We studied a sample of 44 severe stroke patients and their primary caregivers. functional status of the severe stroke patients was evaluated by Modified Barthel Index (MEI). We collected the data through interviewing the caregivers and using the Beck Depression Inventory (EDI), StateTrait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Ego-strength scale, Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) and Family APGAR (Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Resolve) score. Results: The average level of depression in caregivers was low. The mean socres of STAI were 41.5 for state anxiety and 44.3 for trait anxiety, respectively. Ego-strength scale was significantly inversely related to BDI score and trait anxiety inventory score, but positively related to SF-36 score. The most influencing factor for the SF-36 score was the BDI score. Conclusion: Primary caregivers for the home-bound severe stroke patients demonstrated a lower level of quality of life, especially mental health, general health and vitality component. Community based rehabilitation should more focus on the evaluation and support for caregiver's psychologic status and their quality of life.
