caregivers of stroke patients. In-depth interviews were conducted of 6 stroke caregivers
living in Siriraj-Banglumpoo, Ramkhamhaeng and Bangbon-Suksawat. The selected
caregivers were asked about their responsibilities, knowledge, skills, experience,
quality of life, difficulties and any suggestions for caring for stroke patients. Data analysis
was performed by content analysis.
The results showed that caregivers were responsible for earning and supporting
their families. Most of them were elders and had some diseases. The qualities of their
lives in terms of self-concept seem to be happy, not stress and have a good relationship
with their neighbors and friends. Regarding the difficulties of caring for stroke patients,
caregivers facing a tough situation during the beginning because they had no expertise
in physical therapeutic skills. Some patients refused to get services of rehabilitation.
