Methods: 130 carers of hospitalized stroke patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Medical College from January 2020 to October 2023 were investigated using the Caregivers’ Positive Feelings Scale, the Quality of Life Scale, and the General Information Questionnaire. Results: The positive feelings and the quality of life of stroke patient carers were at a moderately low level, and the scores of positive feelings and quality of life dimensions rated by stroke patient carers were positively correlated (P < 0.05, r = 0.40). Conclusion: The positive feelings and the quality of life of stroke patient carers need to be improved, and the enhancement of positive feelings of these carers can help to improve their quality of life so that they can better serve their patients.
