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
