A systematic review of the literature from 1970-2002 was conducted to highlight the issues facing stroke survivors and their families upon integration into the community. Areas of interests were social support, caregiver burden and depression, family interactions, family education intervention, social and leisure activities post stroke, and leisure therapy. Four studies were selected for detailed reviews of the effectiveness of social support, 10 studies for family education intervention, and 3 studies for leisure therapy post stroke. There was evidence that improved social support as an intervention improves outcomes and that an active educational-counseling approach has a positive impact on family functioning post stroke. However, consensus regarding leisure therapy was not achieved. This article also stresses the impact of caring for a stroke survivor and the effect it has on family functioning and caregiver burden.
