Dyadic Capability in Stroke Survivors and Their Caregivers: A Systematic Review and Integrated Concept Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Although educational and transitional interventions improve preparedness after stroke, it remains unclear whether this translates into real-world capability within stroke survivor-caregiver dyads.
