The Issue of Burnout for Lay Caregivers of Patients with Dementia in Easter Slovakia

Abstract

In our work we focused on the issue of burden of lay caregivers, who care for their relatives with dementia. The aim of the work was to map the degree of nursing burden in families providing care for an ill relative suffering from dementia. The survey was implement in the territory of Prešov region. The survey sample consisted of 60 addressed respondents, who take care for a family member with dementia. The non-standardized questionnaire focused on basic identification data (age, sex, length of provided nursing care, and family relation of the caregiver to the patient) was complete with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL), Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and Nursing Burden Test by Svanborg. It results from outcomes that burden of caregiver statistically significantly correlates with ADL (p < .01), IADL (p < .05), whereas, also statistically significant difference in burden of caregiver regarding their sex (p < .01) was confirmed. Nursing burden occurs most often in women than men. Statistical significance was not confirm in our sample regarding age of caregiver, length of nursing care, and family relation to the care receiver.
