Stroke caregivers and patients are dropped into the caregiver and recipient roles acutely following the stroke event, unlike other chronic illnesses in which the caregiving role is developed over time. Little attention has been paid to the preparation of minor stroke survivors for the recovery trajectory or the spouse for the caregiving role [5].
It has been shown by other studies that caregivers have conflicts and relationship problems with other family members. These problems arise from the way they understand the disease and set up the strategies to handle the situation [22,23]. The influence of family function could have a varying importance in the care of dependents, not having been studied in primary care [24].
There are other studies describing the prevalence and determinants of dependence associated with informal care over the health services used. However, none of these studies are focused from the perspective of the patient with stroke; all of them were carried out from the perspective of caregivers.
Our research aims to assess the influence of family function in the protection of people with stroke sequelae and need for physiotherapy, in their family environment. On the other hand, it wants to know the perception of the caregivers, their difficulties with work, and the influence of the family function. Furthermore, it aims to record the perception of the patients with stroke sequelae about the care received and whether they feel protected in their family environment.
Using a triangular methodology, we will analyze the hypothesis that “the higher dependence grade and the lower family function, the less “protection” will be observed for both patient and primary caregiver”.
An application of this study is the assessment, through the objectives, of predictive factors in terms of dependence of people affected by stroke to better understand if there is a relationship between the care received and the care provided by caregivers. Therefore, the results of our study should be of great interest for the community of physiotherapists and most relevant for the families affected.
