Abstract
Most of the global stroke burden occurs in low- and lower-middle-income countries. The most common obstacles families face when caring for stroke patients appear to cause various tensions between patients and their families. This study examines family members' experiences of caring for patients after a stroke. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive phenomenological design. The research participants were 11 participants using purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using NVivo 12 qualitative data analysis software, and interview results were analyzed using thematic analysis. This study identified five phenomena related to the experience of caring for patients after stroke: fulfillment of patient's daily activities, patient treatment, participant psychological response, participant support, and barriers to patient care. Most participants had a less pleasant experience caring for patients after a stroke. This is reflected in sad reactions, angry reactions, the need for help and support from the government, health workers, and other family members, and barriers to patient care. It is important to ensure good coordination between health services and patients and their families, as patients and participants do not have access to health services due to distance and physical disability.
