Amaç: Demanslı bireylere bakım verenlerin bakım verme tepkilerini ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Yöntem: Çalışma, tanımlayıcı kesitsel tasarımda yürütülmüştür. Örneklem 113 bakım verenden oluşmaktadır. Veriler Ocak 2020 ve Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. t-testi, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bakım verenlerin yaş ortalaması 54.95 ± 11.242 ve %77.9’u kadındı. BTDÖ alt ölçeklerinin ortalama puanları Ekonomik Güçlükler 2.36 ± 0.856 (modellerdeki 7 değişken varyansın %34’ünü açıklamıştır-F = 5.326; R2 = ,343; p = .000), Aile Desteğinin Olmaması2.31 ± 0.886 (3 değişken varyansın %11’ini açıklamıştır-F = 4.378; R2 = .108; p = .006), Sağlık Üzerine Etkisi 2.75 ± 0.941 (10 değişken varyansın %35’ini açıklamıştır-F = 3.473; R2= .349; p = .000), Planların Bozulması 3.33 ± 0.955 (10 değişken varyansın %44’ünüaçıklamıştır-F = 5.558; R2= .443; p = .000) ve Benlik Saygısı 4.01 ± 0.595.

The sample consisted of 113 caregivers. Data was collected between January 2020 and January 2021.The t-test, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were used. Results: The mean age of the caregivers was 54.95±11.242 and 77.9% of them were female. The mean scores of CRA subscales were 2.36±0.856 in the Financial Problems (7 variables in the models accounted for 34% of the variance-F = 5.326; R2 =.343; p = .000), 2.31 ± 0.886 in Lack of Family Support (3 variables accounted for 11% of the variance-F = 4.378; R2 = .108; p = .006), 2.75 ± 0.941 in Health Problems (10 variables accounted for 35% of the variance-F= 3.473; R2 = .349; p = .000), 3.33±0.955 in Disrupted Schedule (10 variables accounted for44% of the variance-F = 5.558; R2 = .443; p = .000), and 4.01 ± 0.595 in Caregiver’s Self- Esteem.
