• This study explored the lived experiences of five family caregivers of stroke survivors in a village in Cebu City, Philippines. Data was gathered through individual in-depth interviews and underwent interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three themes emerged: (1) Altruism of caregiving: Of self and family, (2) Victories in caregiving, and (3) Burdens of caregiving. Themes illustrated the duality of roles, overcoming difficulties of caregiving, and sources of motivation in caregiving. Findings indicate that a need for collaborative efforts and active involvement between the communities and occupational therapy with the healthcare system to provide programs and support to family caregivers.
