The way we perceive and react to a chronic disability is the result of our personality and psycho-emotional structure, but also the result of our professional training. A disability affects not only the life of the person in question, but also that of those around them, it involves the appearance and adaptation to physical, psychological, social and environmental changes. The occurrence of a disability in a family member has an impact on the entire family system, and the evolution of the disease is influenced by the way in which the family members act and adapt to the stress caused by the disease and the needs of the disabled one. This paper highlights the role of psychosocial education in increasing the quality of life of people with chronic disabilities following a stroke. The results highlighted the predictive role of certain individual, familial and extra-familial characteristics in relation to the dimension of psychosocial adaptation among their caretakers.
