Although caregiving has been a major focus for research, little is known about the day-to-day changes in lifestyle faced by caregivers. Yet lifestyle, developed over time, manifests an individual's very identity. Using a multimethod approach, we assessed the perceptions of lifestyle changes and coping patterns of 20 caregivers of first-time stroke survivors in the early poststroke period. An outcome-oriented matrix was employed for qualitative analysis, and findings were expanded by additional quantitative analysis. Three themes emerged: pervasiveness of lifestyle change, cohort differences in the perception of lifestyle change and coping patterns, and primary issues of time and confinement. Findings suggest that strains relative to caregiving may not be confined to direct caregiving activities, but may be related to established patterns of daily life.
尽管照护一直是研究的主要焦点，但对于照护者所面临的日常生活方式的变化却知之甚少。然而，随着时间推移形成的生活方式体现了一个人的独特身份。我们采用多方法途径，评估了20名首次中风幸存者的照护者在中风后早期对生活方式变化的认知以及应对模式。采用了以结果为导向的矩阵进行定性分析，并通过额外的定量分析对结果进行扩展。出现了三个主题：生活方式变化的普遍性、生活方式变化认知和应对模式中的队列差异，以及时间和限制的主要问题。研究结果表明，与照护相关的压力可能不仅限于直接的照护活动，还可能与既定的日常生活模式有关。
