The Role of Spirituality in Stroke Survivors and Their Caregivers: A Systematic Review.

Although several studies have analyzed the effects of spirituality on stroke survivors' physical functioning and their caregiver's outcomes, no systematic review or meta-synthesis was found to identify the lived experiences of stroke survivors and caregivers regarding spirituality. For these reasons, this study aimed to analyze quantitively and qualitatively research relating to stroke survivors' and caregivers' experiences. The included studies were RCT studies, quasi-experimental studies, qualitative, descriptive, ethnographic, and phenomenological studies, and cross-sectional studies (n = 37), with a total of 6850 stroke survivors and 1953 caregivers enrolled.
