Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide. Survivors of strokes are typically associated with varying degrees of disability, which often places significant burdens on the primary caregivers. Furthermore, the financial and psychological toll of stroke can also affect family members. Enhancing family resilience can facilitate caregivers' adaptation to changes in family structure, which can ultimately contribute to positive family adjustment.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and CNKI were searched for literature on factors influencing family resilience and family stress modeling. By extracting and summarising the retrieved literature, the main factors influencing family resilience and the theoretical framework of this study were identified. On this basis, the conceptual framework of this study was established.
Results: Care burden, coping, and social support influence family resilience. The FAAR model can be used as an effective framework for conceptualizing the stressful processes experienced by family caregivers of stroke survivors. A conceptual framework for the core elements of care burden, social support, coping, and family resilience was developed on this basis.
Conclusion: A conceptual framework was constructed using the FAAR model as a theoretical framework to explore the relationship between family resilience, care burden, social support, and coping among stroke caregivers. This framework will guide the development of interventions to enhance family resilience among stroke caregivers.
