Social support, social problem-solving abilities, and adjustment of family caregivers of stroke survivors. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2006;87:343-50. Objective: To determine contributions of social support and social problem-solving abilities in prediction of adjustment of family caregivers of stroke survivors. Design: Descriptive. Setting: Two rehabilitation facilities (1 private, 1 state) in the southeastern United States. Participants: Fifty-two family caregivers (46 women, 6 men) of stroke survivors (28 women, 24 men). Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Predictor variables were social support and social problem-solving abilities. Outcome measures of caregiver adjustment were depressive symptomatology, well-being, and general health. Participants completed C, these measures 1 to 2 days before discharge from inpatient rehabilitation and at 5, 9, and 13 weeks postdischarge in the home. Results : Trajectory analysis indicated higher levels of social support were associated with lower levels of caregiver depressive symptomatology and higher levels of well-being and general health, independent of social problem solving. A greater negative problem orientation was associated with higher levels of depressive symptomatology and lower levels of well-being. A more positive problem orientation was associated with greater increases in general health. Langue : ANGLAIS |
