简要总结
This cross-sectional observational study aims to evaluate caregiver burden, fatigue, sleep quality, and depression among family caregivers of stroke patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Stroke survivors frequently experience urinary dysfunction, which may increase caregiving demands and negatively affect caregiver well-being. A total of 70 family caregivers of stroke patients with LUTS receiving inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation care were included. Caregiver outcomes were assessed using validated instruments including the Caregiver Strain Index (CSI), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The study also examined the relationship between caregiver outcomes and patient-related clinical variables such as stroke severity and cognitive status.

Caregivers of Stroke Patients With LUTS
Family caregivers of stroke patients with lower urinary tract symptoms receiving inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation care. Caregiver burden, fatigue, sleep quality, and depression were assessed using validated questionnaires.
结局指标
主要结局
Caregiver burden measured by the Caregiver Strain Index (CSI)
时间窗: Baseline
The Caregiver Strain Index (CSI) is a validated questionnaire used to assess caregiver burden. It consists of 13 items evaluating strain related to caregiving activities. Higher scores indicate greater caregiver burden
次要结局
- Sleep quality measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)(baseline)
- Depression measured by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)(baseline)
- Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)(baseline)
- Caregiving Reactions Questionnaire(baseline)
