How do stroke survivors and their caregivers manage post-stroke fatigue? A qualitative study

CONCLUSIONS: Post-stroke fatigue is managed in different ways and there was not one particular strategy that seemed effective for everyone. Most people in our study had had to devise their own ways of coping practically. Given the scale of this problem, which profoundly impacts the lives of both stroke survivors and caregivers, the management of post-stroke fatigue merits more attention and evaluation. However, this must be directly informed by those with lived experience.PMID:35770809 | DOI:10.1177/02692155221107738
