The mean age of the caregivers was 48.40\u2009\u00b1\u200915.82\u2009years, 61.2% were female, and the preparedness for caregiving scale means were 21.44\u2009\u00b1\u20097.22. It was found that care preparedness was associated with patient characteristics, such as age that was \u2265\u200965, comorbid diseases, diabetes mellitus and caregiver characteristics such as female gender and having care experience. The study showed that the presence of comorbid diseases in the patient and having difficulty in caregiving explained 13.2% of the variance in the level of caregivers' care preparedness (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001). The most common needs of caregivers during the care process were preventing falls (64.0%), patient mobility (57.6%), having information on monitoring secondary stroke symptoms (51.1%), receiving physiotherapy support (45.3%), coping with stress (40.3%), and resting (33.1%). In addition, the needs that caregivers had the most difficulty meeting were positioning, monitoring secondary stroke symptoms, understanding medical terms, management of swallowing difficulties, psychotherapy, and receiving voluntary\/paid caregiver support.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study emphasises the need for comprehensive evaluation of the care needs of post\u2010stroke caregivers and targeted interventions specific to these needs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/scs.70196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,4]],"date-time":"2026-02-04T07:05:48Z","timestamp":1770188748000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Determination of Care Preparedness and Needs of Caregivers of Stroke Patients: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-6815-0387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yusuf","family":"Aktepe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences A\u011fr\u0131 \u0130brahim \u00c7e\u00e7en University  A\u011fr\u0131 Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2918-1274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ay\u015feg\u00fcl","family":"\u00d6zt\u00fcrk Birge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing Ankara University  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000012638"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hsc.13706"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.16078"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(24)00038-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s42466\u2010020\u201000060\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.59314"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1589\/jpts.30.993"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11357\u2010024\u201001301\u20101"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/17474930211065917"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.121.033938"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.119.026133"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-824535-4.00003-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15511\/tjtfp.18.00369"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/aian.AIAN_406_18"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.37410"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_12_17_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Care Burden and Affecting Factors Among Caregivers of Elderly People With Chronic Diseases","volume":"7","author":"Sel\u00e7uk K.
