The burden of care on caregiver family members of elders and related factors in Izmir
Abstract
Aim: We aim at investigating the burden of care and additional related factors of individuals over 65 years old and their caregiving family members who receive home care services from Bornova District Municipality of Izmir Province.
Material and Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional study. The sociodemographic characteristics of the caregiving family member, the data forms about the care information, and the Zarit caregiving burden scale were used to measure the burden of care status. Questionnaires addressing Sociodemographic characteristics, daily living activities and instrumental daily living activities were applied to elderly individuals. Data were analyzed using Student-t-test, Mann-Whitney U analysis, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis variance analysis, and linear regression analysis; p <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The average burden of care on caregivers was 31.95 ± 13.33. Most of the caregivers were female, married, having low education, social security, having children, housewives. According to the results of linear regression analysis, a statistically significant relationship was found between the caregiving family member's health perception, sleep quality status, presence of physical and economic problems, daily and instrumental life activity status of the elderly and caregiving burden of the caregiving family member.
Conclusion: Providing support services for the physical and economic problems of caregivers and interventions to make elderly individuals independent may significantly reduce the care burden of caregiving family members.
