Survey of Sociodemographic and Caregiving Factors for Stroke Survivors in the Philippines

Aira Patrice Rueda Ong's cross-sectional survey of 462 informal caregivers for stroke survivors in the Philippines, last updated in April 2026. The dataset includes sociodemographic characteristics, caregiver responsibilities, and strain measured by the Modified Caregiver Strain Index-Filipino (MCSI-F). Data analysis involved chi-square tests and ordinal logistic regression.

Use Cases

• Modeling caregiver strain severity based on work interference and caregiving hours mentioned in the description.
• Identifying vulnerable caregiver subgroups based on sociodemographic factors like sex and spousal relationship.
• Evaluating the impact of daily care commitment on caregiver burden for program planning.
• Benchmarking caregiver strain scores (MCSI-F) against sociodemographic profiles.

Strengths

• Survey includes 462 respondents, providing a substantive sample size.
• Analysis includes specific statistical results (e.g., aOR=5.38 for work interference, Nagelkerke’s R²=0.231).
• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Philippines-only survey.
