Objective: To investigate the relationship between anxiety/depression and caregiver burden in informal caregivers of stroke survivors with spasticity.Design: Data were collected via online surveys from informal caregivers 18 years or older who cared for stroke survivors.Setting: Internet-based survey.Participants: 2007 through 2009 U.S. National Health and Wellness Survey database or Lightspeed Research general panel respondents (N =153).Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: Anxiety and depression were self-reported by the caregiver as a physician diagnosis. Depression severity was measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Caregiver burden was measured by the Oberst Caregiving Burden Scale (OCBS) and the Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale (BCOS). Logistic regression analyses were conducted with anxiety, depression, and the PHQ-9 depression severity categories as a result of each caregiver burden scale.Results: Data were analyzed for 153 informal caregivers; they were mostly women (70.6%) and white (78.4%), with a mean age of 51.6 years. For every 1-point increase in the OCBS Difficulty Scale, the odds of anxiety or depression were 2,57 times as great (P
