Abstract
The family networks of 47 geriatric stroke patients were examined for social supports and social problems as they related to well-being after hospital discharge. Structured interviews assessed positive and negative family interactions and patients' independence in activities of daily living (ADL), time use, personal adjustment, and cognitive functioning. After controlling for patients' medical status at hospital discharge, social supports were not associated with any of the outcomes examined. Social problems explained additional variance in personal adjustment and ADL independence.
