 Randomising the participants people that have survived a stroke and their family caregivers into trained and untrained groups and following them up using standardised measurement tools will highlight the effect that training has on the quality of life of the stroke survivors and their caregivers as well as function and community reintegration of survivors and burden of care among the caregivers. It is expected this will provide evidence for the need to provide an intervention program that will support family caregivers and improve the outcomes of both. It is against this background that this study aims to determine the effect that a standardised caregiver training program has on the outcomes and quality of life of the caregivers and stroke survivors in Harare and Chitungwiza.
