Abstract

Background: Caregivers of stroke survivors may turn to online resources to connect with other caregivers of stroke survivors, and voice their unmet needs and concerns in online communities. Google is the most commonly used search engine in the world, and therefore is the most likely place where caregivers of stroke survivors would begin to search for information and experiences produced by other caregivers of stroke survivors.

Aims: (1) Identify the types of websites easily accessible by caregivers of stroke survivors who seek support or to connect online with other caregivers, and (2) analyse the online content produced by caregivers to identify their unmet needs.
