Objective: To determine the burden and quality of life of caregivers of stroke survivors with cognitive impairment in selected healthcare facilities in Anambra State, Nigeria. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey using the World Health Organization QOL-BREF and Caregiver Strain Index (CSI) as instruments. Descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage counts, mean and standard deviation were used to summarize the socio-demographics. Spearman's ranked order correlation; Mann–Whitney U test assessed the correlation and gender and age difference in QoL and caregiver's burden. Alpha level was set at 0.05. Results: Physical health domain of QOL was slightly moderate (53.29 ± 15.19), psychological health was low (46.33 ± 16.96), social relationship was slightly moderate (51.16 ± 0.31), environmental health was slightly moderate (51.22 ± 15.88), the burden of caregivers was high (6.35 ± 1.29).
