Article Effectiveness of Individual Psychoeducational Interventions for Caregivers of Stroke Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2025) Kelani, Hesham; Ali, Hossam Tharwat; Naeem, Ahmed; Salamah, Hazem Mohamed; Ismail, Ali; Younes, Youmna Atef; Khandelwal, PriyankStroke is a major cause of disability, and patients who suffer strokes have limited mobility and functional tasks, necessitating daily reliance on caregivers. However, caregivers of stroke patients often experience depression and anxiety, negatively impacting their mental health and reducing their quality of life. Psychoeducational interventions may be a solution to support the well-being of stroke caregivers. This study is performed to assess the overall effectiveness of individual psychoeducational interventions for caregivers of stroke patients. A thorough search of Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases was performed for published studies in English up to June 2023. Clinical trials assessing the efficacy of psychoeducational interventions on quality of life, depression, or care burden among stroke caregivers compared to usual care were included. A total of 18 clinical trials, 16 randomized clinical trials (RCTs), and two non-RCTs, with a total of 2007 patients, were included. The study's pooled results revealed a significant increase in the quality of life in the group receiving psychoeducational interventions compared to the comparison group (SMD = 0.34, 95% CI 0.13-0.55, p value = 0.002), while no significant difference was found in terms of depression (SMD = - 0.05, 95% CI - 0.23 to 0.14, p value = 0.62) or caregiver burden (SMD = - 0.61, 95% CI - 1.65 to 0.44, p value = 0.25). Psychoeducation programs should be considered as a supportive intervention to improve quality of life in caregivers; however, their impact on depression and caregiver burden remains inconclusive. However, further studies with a larger sample size are needed to confirm the results.Article Adaptation of Caregivers' Task Scale for Multiple Sclerosis To Turkish Society: Validity and Reliability Study(Dokuz Eylul Univ inst Health Sciences, 2022) Eroglu, Nermin; Tosun, Anil TekeogluObjectives: This study was planned and carried out methodologically to adapt the Caregiving Tasks in Multiple Sclerosis Scale (CTiMSS) to Turkish society. Methods: A methodological research. The study was conducted with caregivers of individuals with multiple sclerosis who presented to the neurology clinic of a university hospital between June 2019 and September 2020. The validity and reliability study of the Caregiving Tasks in Multiple Sclerosis Scale (CTiMSS) was performed with a total of 142 individuals, which is more than 5 times the number of items on the scale (24 items). Results: The validity of the CTiMSS was evaluated with language validity, construct validity (CFA), and content validity. The reliability coefficient of the internal consistency analysis (Cronbach's Alpha) was found to be extremely high (0.97). Item-total correlation of the scale was examined, and accordingly, no items were removed from the scale. The scale was administered to 30 patients at a two-week interval to analyze test-retest reliability and time-dependent invariance. Conclusion: The CTiMSS, which was adapted to Turkish society to evaluate the tasks of individuals providing care for individuals with multiple sclerosis, is a valid and reliable tool. We recommend that it should be administered to different groups and cultures to increase its evidence value. CTiMSS is an appropriate measurement tool to determine the duties of caregivers of individuals with multiple sclerosis.
