简要总结
This qualitative descriptive study aims to explore the knowledge of post-stroke fatigue (PSF) and post-stroke depression (PSD) among patients with stroke and their caregivers. Using semi-structured interviews, the study seeks to identify awareness, understanding, and informational gaps related to PSF and PSD. The findings may help inform the development of rehabilitation strategies and contribute to improving post-stroke care and recovery outcomes.
