The objective of this review is to identify, appraise, and synthesize the best available qualitative evidence on the caregiving experiences of informal caregivers of adult stroke patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The functional and health outcomes of stroke patients are directly impacted by the mental and physical well-being of the patient's informal caregiver, which have been negatively affected by COVID-19 due to a lack of caregiver education and competency in caring for stroke patients. Therefore, improvement of the informal caregiver experience will preserve the stroke survivor-caregiver relationship and the care goals of stroke patients.
This review will consider qualitative studies focusing on the experiences of informal caregivers of adult stroke patients during COVID-19. Only informal caregivers will be included, defined as individuals of any age, gender, or culture who provide care, typically unpaid, to someone with whom they have a personal relationship (ie, family or friend). Studies conducted in inpatient settings, rehabilitation settings, community care settings, or home care settings will be considered.
The databases to be searched include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, and PsycINFO. Sources of unpublished studies and gray literature will include ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, MedNar, and the American Heart Association. Studies published from 2019 to the present will be considered and data synthesis will be conducted using the meta-aggregation approach. Confidence in the findings will be assessed using the ConQual approach.

本综述旨在识别、评价和综合 COVID-19 大流行期间成年脑卒中患者非专业照护者的最佳现有定性证据，以了解其照护体验。
脑卒中患者的功能和健康结局直接受到患者非专业照护者的身心健康状况的影响，由于缺乏针对脑卒中患者的照护教育和能力，COVID-19 对非专业照护者产生了负面影响。因此，改善非专业照护者的体验将有助于维持脑卒中幸存者与照护者的关系以及脑卒中患者的照护目标。
本综述将考虑关注 COVID-19 期间成年脑卒中患者非专业照护者体验的定性研究。仅纳入非专业照护者，定义为为与自己有个人关系（即家庭或朋友）的人提供照护的任何年龄、性别或文化的个体，通常是无偿的。将考虑在住院、康复、社区护理或家庭护理环境中进行的研究。
将检索的数据库包括 MEDLINE、CINAHL、Embase、Web of Science 和 PsycINFO。未发表研究和灰色文献的来源将包括 ProQuest Dissertations and Theses、MedNar 和美国心脏协会。将考虑 2019 年至今发表的研究，并使用元聚合方法进行数据综合。使用 ConQual 方法评估研究结果的可信度。
