Carer strain in post-stroke emotionalism: a cross-sectional analysis.
BMJ Open
December 2024
Leeds Institute of Health Sciences, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK.
Objectives: Post-stroke emotionalism (PSE) is a common, under-researched neurologic symptom of stroke, characterised by frequent crying episodes not under usual social control. Currently, there are no data on carer strain in the context of emotionalism after stroke. We aimed to explore the degree of carer strain in carers of individuals with diagnosed PSE compared with carers of individuals with stroke but no PSE to examine whether carer strain varies with particular characteristics of the cared for individual (patient age, sex, social deprivation, stroke type, functional status, mood status) and to quantify the impact of PSE on carer strain, after accounting for other factors.

The current social and health crisis situation has highlighted the need to create new integrated models of care that could be translated into social and health policies.
Objective: The present study aims to develop, test, and validate an innovative integrated care model for older people with dependence and at risk of social exclusion and their caregivers.
