AB  - BACKGROUND: For family caregivers, sudden stroke events and heavy caring works 
      are stressful events. At present, controversies about the factors affecting 
      caregivers' stress response and their correlation with coping styles still exist. 
      OBJECTIVE: To explore the influencing factors and coping styles of mental health 
      stress responses of stroke caregivers and promote caregivers to adopt positive 
      coping styles for diseases and caring works. METHODS: The convenience sampling 
      method is used to select stroke caregivers as the research objects. The general 
      information questionnaires, Relative Stress Scale (RSS), General Self-Efficacy 
      Scale (GSES), Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS), Positive and Negative Affect 
      Schedule (PANAS), and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) are utilized 
      for investigation. RESULTS: 205 valid questionnaires are returned. Analysis 
      suggests that the influential factors of mental health stress responses of stroke 
      caregivers include the course of the disease, the impact of the disease on 
      economic conditions, obligation to take care of other family members, 
      understanding of stroke-associated diseases, and whether the patient is at risk. 
      Social support and self-efficacy are negatively correlated with stress responses, 
      while negative coping style is significantly positively correlated with stress 
      responses. CONCLUSIONS: By increasing social support and self-efficacy, medical 
      workers can guide stroke caregivers to take positive coping styles, thereby 
      reducing their mental health stress responses.
