Abstract: Objective: To explore the current status of psychological flexibility of stroke patients′ caregivers and analyze its influencing factors. Methods: A total of 233 caregivers of stroke patients were recruited in this cross-sectional survey. The general information questionnaire, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-2nd Edition, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview and 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were used in this survey. Multiple stepwise regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of psychological flexibility among stroke patients′ caregivers. Results: The mean score of psychological flexibility in stroke patients′ caregivers was 23.91±6.73. Multiple stepwise regression results showed that resilience, psychological distress, self -care ability of patients in daily life and caregiver burden were influencing factors of psychological flexibility of stroke patients′ caregivers (P<0.05), explaining 72.6% of the variance. Conclusion: The psychological flexibility of stroke patients′ caregivers were affected by many factors, and targeted interventions should be implemented by healthcare professionals to enhance the psychological flexibility level of stroke patients′ caregivers.
