This research aims to evaluate the impact of apathy on the quality of life and distress experienced by stroke patients and their caregivers.
Cohort study of 40 patient-caregiver pairs (20 with apathy and 20 without)
Assessment of apathy, patient disability, quality of life, cognition, and depression
Evaluation of caregiver distress, burden, and mood
Apathy predicted higher caregiver distress (β = 0.11, p < 0.001) and burden (β = 0.7, p < 0.001)
Apathy also predicted lower quality of life for patients (β = −0.67, p < 0.001)
Physical disability was not an independent predictor of caregiver burden
