护理人员通常被称为“隐藏的病人”。护理研究很少关注护理的积极方面。本研究的目的是调查中风幸存者的照顾者的生活经历，他们在中风后至少 6 个月内担任照顾者角色。该概念框架基于拉扎勒斯的压力和应对理论以及韦纳的归因理论的结合。采用定性横截面设计。它涉及来自怀俄明州一个乡村县的 10 名护理人员样本。总共确定了24个类别，并出现了五个主题：（1）忠诚感； （二）验收； (3)“感觉良好”的感觉； (4) 满足感与帮助他人有关； (5)负担与生活方式的改变有关。这项研究的参与者报告了关于他们作为照顾者的角色的一些积极结果以及一些消极结果。
Caregivers are often referred to as the "hidden patients." Rarely has caregiving research focused on the positive aspects of caregiving. The purpose of this study was to investigate the lived experiences of caregivers of stroke survivors who have been in the caregiver role for at least 6 months poststroke. The conceptual framework was based on a combination of Lazarus' stress and coping theory and Weiner's attribution theory. A qualitative cross-sectional design was employed. It involved a sample of 10 caregivers from a rural county in Wyoming. A total of 24 categories were identified and five themes emerged: (1) a sense of loyalty; (2) acceptance; (3) a sense of "feeling good"; (4) satisfaction is associated with helping others; and (5) burden is associated with lifestyle change. Participants in this study reported several positive outcomes as well as some negative outcomes in regard to their role as caregivers.
