Despite high levels of distress among stroke caregivers, research on resource use and unmet needs is limited. The major purposes of this study were to identify the most difficult times, unmet needs, and advice of caregivers during the first 2 years of caregiving; and to examine resource use and perceptions of resource importance. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used. The hospitalization period and first months at home were most difficult for 76% of caregivers. Unmet needs were related to caregiver preparation, promoting the survivor's function, and sustaining the self and family. Although 50% or more of caregivers rated Most resources important, only home health care was used by 50% of caregivers. Findings can aid clinicians in educating and counseling caregivers to reduce distress.
