Impact on family :


India , like other low and middle income countries is experiencing a stroke epidemic. During the past 2 decades , the prevalence of strke in india is estimated to range from 84 to 262 per 100,000 population in urban areas.It is a common understanding in india that stroke survivors need intense and regular physiotherapy to recover lost functions of
muscles and nerves . With over one million stroke cases in india annually, a large number of victims grapple with the debilitating effects of posrt stroke disability. Partial or total paralysis , spasticity and aphasia are common side effects of stroke. While rehabilitation with physiotherapy is a common practice, but the survivors need many other areas where help is required like behavioral changes , motivation, functional independence, hobbies and interest etc.
Stroke patients experience many different emotions after stroke.Sometimes it’s caused by  grief after stroke, other times there are serious psychological conditions that occur, like  post traumatic stress disorder after stroke..These behaviors are cofusing to family members. Their loved one may not seem like the samr person and they may feel that they have lost him or her. Stroke affects the family and friends of the patient. Noperson or family is ever prepared for the reality of astrke and its consequences.

Although each individual and family is different, many people experience different feelings .
When a person has a stroke , family roles are often changed. Role changes can be difficult and family members may find themselves feeling exhausted and resentful about what they have to give up.
Changes in the physical environment that to be made to the home to accommodate the needs of stroke survivor may also be a source of stress for family.

Our role: We counsel family members on various issues to lessen their stress about stroke survivors like firstly treat the person as an adult, Be patient, recovery can come slow, Do not make too many demands or push too hard, Surround the person with familiar things ( Photos, treasures),Talk about things the person knows about, Speak slowly with short sentences, Follow some functional activity for survivors at home,Get indulge with survivors in their hobbies , Prevent them from falling, plan outings with them .

One of the most important factors in patient’s recovery after a disability, injury or illness is the involvement and support of the family. Usually the patient’s family is caregiver and thus plays a vital part in the rehabilitation process for a number of reasons : Position attitudes and reinforcement from family members can inspire patient’s commitment to recovery and help them to adapt to a new challenges.
