Association between incongruence about survivor function and outcomes among stroke survivors and family caregivers.

CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this study suggest that survivors and caregivers often have incongruent appraisals of survivor function, that incongruence does not improve naturally over time, and that incongruence may be detrimental for survivor and caregiver outcomes. Further research should be directed at the mitigation of incongruence and strategies to improve outcomes for both survivors and family caregivers. PMID: 30207873 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
