Maudsley Personality Inventory, Suanprung Stess Test, and Activity Daily Living Index were tested reliability that equal 0.84, 0.89, and 0.97 respectively. Data analysis used descriptive statistic, chi-square, pearson product moment correlation, and stepwise regression. The research results revealed that; 1) Fatigue mean score of strokes’ caregiver personnel was 43.92 (S.D. = 9.35). 2) Stress, neuroticism-stability and extraversion-introversion were significantly positive correlation with fatigue (r = 0.60, p = 0.000; r = 0.55, p = 0.000; and r = 0.46, p = 0.000, respectively). All of variables accounted for 46.70 of the variance explained in the fatigue of stroke’s caregiver.
