Meaning plays an important role in stroke family caregiving. Understanding meaning facilitates the development of effective interventions that support stroke family caregivers. However, knowledge about this subject is fragmented and sparse. This review fills this knowledge gap by examining existing findings regarding meanings in stroke family caregiving. Specifically, a search of seven databases and a manual search produced a total of five articles for review. Embedded in the lived experience of caregivers, meanings in stroke family caregiving were interpreted as a physical, psychological, and social suffering; an obligation resulting from moral ethics, religion doctrines, others' expectations, and social norms; and a subjective choice based on love, hope, and a sense of reciprocity. However, the detailed process of how and when caregivers identify meaning in caregiving needs further exploration. To gain a full picture of meaning in caregiving, more studies should be conducted among stroke family caregivers from different cultural, economic, and social backgrounds.
意义在中风家庭护理中起着重要作用。理解意义有助于制定支持中风家庭护理人员的有效干预措施。然而，关于这一主题的知识零散且稀少。本综述通过审视中风家庭护理中意义的现有研究结果填补了这一知识空白。具体而言，对七个数据库的检索和人工检索共产生了五篇文章以供综述。蕴含在护理人员的生活经历中，中风家庭护理中的意义被解读为身体、心理和社会层面的痛苦；源自道德伦理、宗教教义、他人期望和社会规范的一种义务；以及基于爱、希望和互惠感的一种主观选择。然而，护理人员如何以及何时在护理中确定意义的详细过程仍有待进一步探索。为全面了解护理中的意义，应在来自不同文化、经济和社会背景的中风家庭护理人员中开展更多研究。
