RESUMEN
El objetivo fue buscar el conocimiento sobre el cuidado de acompañantes/cuidadores de pacientes hospitalizados por accidente vascular cerebral. Estudio descriptivo, hecho con 14 pacientes y sus cuidadores en un hospital público de Fortaleza-Ceará-Brasil. Datos recogidos entre abril y mayo de 2011, por observación simples y entrevista semiestructurada con pacientes y cuidadores, fueron sometidos al análisis estadístico y temático. Los pacientes estaban con un alto grado de dependencia y incapacidades graves. Los cuidadores eran mujeres en su totalidad y en sus discursos destacaron dificultades para realización del cuidado, entre ellas la falta de conocimientos. Se concluye que los cuidadores no están preparados para el cuidado de esos pacientes. Por lo tanto, hay que se invertir en la preparación de esos clientes aun en el hospital, permeando otros niveles de atención a la salud.
