Abstract
Carers of people with non-acute aphasic and non-aphasic stroke completed questionnaires assessing their distress, perceptions of stroke, generalised self-efficacy, optimism, coping strategies, self-rated physical health and social support. At the same time, their relatives with the stroke were assessed on mood and ability measures. Results showed that whereas stroke disability/aphasia did not account for carer distress, carer factors accounted for a significant amount of the distress.
