Systematic review of patient-reported measures of treatment burden in stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Treatment burden is the workload of healthcare for people with long-term conditions (LTC) and its impact on well-being. A method of measurement is required to identify those experiencing high burden and to measure intervention efficacy. Our aim was to identify, examine and appraise validated patient-reported measures (PRMs) of treatment burden in stroke. Here, stroke serves as an exemplar LTC of older adults.

Design

A systematic review of published studies that describe the development and validation of PRMs measuring treatment burden in stroke survivors.
