Aim: To explore caring and coping among carers of stroke survivors and identify factors that had an impact on their lives.
Background: Informal carers carry the main responsibility for the care of stroke survivors in the community, which can have a detrimental effect on the health and well-being of carers. However, the circumstances of caring differ for each carer: this study identifies the diverse factors that can cause caring to be burdensome for some carers and less so for others.
Aims And Objectives: To explore the personal experiences of carers of stroke survivors and to elicit their views and opinions of what constitute the major issues and concerns of people in their situation.
Background: The unexpected nature of stroke can propel people into the role of carer with little or no warning. Some carers of stroke survivors suffer from considerable stress and a range of psychological and physical disorders.
Aims And Objectives: The aim of the study was to enable those planning to make submissions to the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise to make informed decisions regarding their research strategies. The objective of the study was to identify the factors that distinguish those units of assessment (Universities and Higher Education Institutions) that were highly rated from those that received a low rating for nursing in the Research Assessment Exercise of 2001.
Background: Nursing research differs in kind from other types of biomedical research.
