İzmir’de yaşlılara bakım veren aile üyelerinin bakım verme yükü ve ilişki faktörler

Year 2021, Volume: 12 Issue: 2, 133 - 139, 30.06.2021

Abstract

Amaç: İzmir İli Bornova İlçe Belediyesi'nden evde bakım hizmeti alan 65 yaş ve üzeri bireylere bakım veren aile bireylerinin bakım yükü ve ilişkili faktörleri incelemek amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamız kesitsel tipte bir çalışma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Bakım veren aile üyesinin sosyodemografik özellikleri, bakım bilgilerine ilişkin veri formları ve bakım yükünü ölçmek için Zarit bakım verme yükü ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Yaşlı bireylerin sosyodemografik özellikleri, günlük yaşam aktivitesini ve enstürmental günlük yaşam aktivitesini değerlendiren ölçek uygulanmıştır. Veriler Student-t-testi, Mann-Whitney U analizi, Varyans Analizi (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis varyans analizi ve doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılarak analiz edildi; p <0.05 anlamlı kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Bakım verenlerin ortalama bakım yükü 31.95 ± 13.33 idi. Bakıcıların çoğu kadın, evli, eğitim düzeyi düşük, sosyal güvencesi olan, çocuk sahibi ve ev hanımıydı. Doğrusal regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre, bakım veren aile ferdinin sağlık algısı, uyku kalitesi durumu, fiziksel ve ekonomik sorunların varlığı, yaşlıların günlük ve enstürmental yaşam aktivite durumu ile bakım veren ailenin bakım verme yükü arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Bakım verenlerin fiziksel ve ekonomik sorunlarına yönelik destek hizmetlerinin sağlanması ve yaşlı bireyleri bağımsız kılmak için müdahaleler, bakım veren aile üyelerinin bakım yükünü önemli ölçüde azaltabilir.

The burden of care on caregiver family members of elders and related factors in Izmir

Year 2021, Volume: 12 Issue: 2, 133 - 139, 30.06.2021

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.
