A high percentage of individuals who have suffered a stroke will be cared for at home, primarily by aging spouses and/or relatives. Providing care to a family member with a chronic or life-threatening condition can be both emotionally rewarding and distressing for the care provider. The objective of this research was to test the factors associated with caregiver experiences. ⋯ Caregiver satisfaction was not found to be associated with emotional well-being. The amount of support, both instrumental and social, did not improve the emotional well-being of the caregiver. The caregiver's sense of mastery was found to moderate the relationship between lifestyle impact and emotional well-being and also between caregiver satisfaction and emotional well-being.
