| Abstrakt: | This secondary data analysis sought to identify characteristics associated with mistreatment among chronic stroke survivors who transition to dementia. We examined baseline data from a multi-time series survey study ( n = 453; where caregivers of those with stroke n = 107, and those without stroke, n = 346 ) on caregiving experiences influencing dementia family caregivers' abusive or neglectful behaviors. Inferential statistical analysis indicated that baseline mistreatment rates were similar across stroke and non-stroke subgroups, though this finding was not significant. Caregiver depression was significantly associated with mistreatment. Multi-morbidity, prescription medication use, and limited mobility were more common among stroke survivors. Stroke-related complications may impose a greater burden of care upon family caregivers whose care recipients also have dementia. Determining timepoints of heightened mistreatment risk for stroke survivors may significantly impact long-term trajectories of stroke management to screen and identify those who may benefit from added support and intervention.
