Davide Bartoli: The Hidden Cost of Informal Caregiving After Stroke
Davide Bartoli, Researcher at Sapienza University of Rome, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:
”Our new paper is out in European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing
We explore the hidden cost of informal caregiving after stroke — and why it matters more than we think.
Key insights:
- Informal caregiving significantly affects workforce participation
- There is a measurable impact on caregivers’ quality of life
- The burden falls disproportionately on women
- Ignoring this cost has major economic and policy implications
Caring for caregivers is not just a moral imperative — it’s a societal and economic one.”
Title: The hidden cost of informal care: a commentary on productivity loss, gender inequality, and the invisible workforce of stroke carers
