Few data are available on the specific caregiving-related problems of stroke patients' caregivers and factors that influence the burden of these caregivers. The aim of this study was to describe the level and specific nature of the burden of caregiving as experienced by stroke patients' partners and to estimate the relative contribution of patient and partner characteristics to the presence of partners' burden.
