Introduction

Facilitating stroke survivors and their caregivers to lead a fulfilling life after stroke requires service providers to think about their different needs. Poor post stroke care may lead to unmet needs in stroke survivors and stroke caregivers. This may compromise them in leading their lives optimally after stroke.

Objectives & Methodology

This systematic narrative review examines articles published from 1990 to 2017, generated from Ovid, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PubMed. The search was also supplemented by an examination of reference lists for related articles via Scopus. We included 105 articles.

Findings

We found that the type of unmet needs in stroke survivors and the contributing factors were substantially different from their caregivers. The unmet needs in stroke survivors ranged from health-related needs to re-integration into the community; while the unmet needs in stroke caregivers ranged from information needs to support in caring for the stroke survivors and caring for themselves. Additionally, the unmet needs in both groups were associated with different factors.

Conclusion

More research is required to understand the unmet needs of stroke survivors and stroke caregivers to improve the overall post-stroke care services.

中风幸存者和中风照顾者未满足的需求：系统的叙事回顾。

介绍

为中风幸存者及其照顾者提供便利，使他们在中风后过上充实的生活，需要服务提供商考虑他们的不同需求。中风后护理不佳可能导致中风幸存者和中风护理人员的需求未得到满足。这可能会危及他们在中风后最佳地生活。

目标与方法

这篇系统的叙事性评论研究了1990年至2017年发表的由Ovid，MEDLINE，CINAHL和PubMed撰写的文章。通过Scopus对相关文章的参考列表进行检查，对搜索进行了补充。我们收录了105篇文章。

发现

我们发现中风幸存者未满足需求的类型及其影响因素与他们的照护者有很大不同。中风幸存者未满足的需求包括与健康相关的需求到重新融入社区。中风护理人员的未满足需求从信息需求到支持中风幸存者和照顾自己的支持不等。此外，两组的未满足需求都与不同因素相关。

结论

需要更多的研究来了解中风幸存者和中风照顾者的未满足需求，以改善整体中风后护理服务。
