简要总结
This is a randomized controlled trial with a 3-month psychoeducational program as intervention, followed by a 3 month observational period. The purpose of this study was to examine whether a psychoeducational program focusing on equipping caregivers with problem-solving skills would improve caregiver's problem-solving abilities, their psychological responses and caregiving resources, and would minimize the use of health and social services among stroke survivors.
