Abstract:
Objective:To integrate the home care needs of caregivers of stroke patients, so as to provide a basis for developing a training curriculum for caregivers of stroke patients and improving caregiver competence in home care.Methods:Qualitative studies on home care needs of family caregivers of stroke patients were searched in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Science Direct, Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Health Care Center Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and Wanfang Data. The search period was from database establishment to September 2024. Evaluation was implemented using the JBI Center for Evidence-Based Health Care Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research. The integrative synthesis was used to summarize and integrate the results of the literature.Results:A total of 12 articles were included, and 40 findings were distilled into nine categories, resulting in four integrated findings, namely information access needs, caregiver role support needs, psycho-emotional needs, and social support needs.Conclusions:Caregivers of stroke patients have information knowledge, role management, psycho-emotional and social support care needs. Healthcare professionals should emphasize the home care needs of caregivers to improve the quality of home care for stroke patients.
