    Stroke 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.

    Investigating the Relationship Between Caregiver Burden and Quality of Life in Burn Care
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Seyyah, Mine; Reyhanioglu, Duygu Aktar; Kardas, Ayse Sena Yumbul
    Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship between caregiver burden and quality of life among primary caregivers of burn survivors receiving inpatient treatment in an acute care setting. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive and correlational study included 53 primary caregivers of hospitalized burn patients, recruited from the Burn Care Unit of a tertiary hospital in Turkey between August 2022 and January 2023. Participants were aged 18 or older, identified as the primary caregiver, and able to communicate in Turkish. Individuals with psychiatric disorders were excluded. Data were collected through face-to-face structured interviews using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), in which higher scores indicate better quality of life. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and linear regression were used to analyze the data. Results: The caregivers had a mean age of 38.75 +/- 10.76 years; 71.7 % were female, and 50.9 % had completed only primary education. The average caregiving duration was 10.6 days. The mean ZBI score was 22.54 +/- 15.11, indicating moderate burden. Demographic variables did not significantly affect caregiver burden (p > .05). A moderate negative correlation was found between caregiver burden and their emotional (r = -0.367, p = .007), psychological (r = -0.313, p = .023), and physical functioning (r = -0.355, p = .009) subdomains of the SF-36. Conclusion: A inverse relationship was observed between caregiver burden and caregiver quality of life, especially in emotional, psychological, and physical functioning domains. Although demographic factors were not influential, lower quality of life was associated with greater caregiver burden.
