Evaluation of Anxiety Levels and Sleep Quality of Family Members Providing Home Care Services: A Case-Control Study

Abstract

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the sleep quality of individuals who provide home care services regarding their duration of care service and the status of full or semi-dependent patients who receive home care services. Methods: Our study was conducted with 73 home caregiver participants (group 1) and 73 healthy volunteers (group 2). A questionnaire form was formulated for the evaluation of the participants. Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were applied to all participants. Results: When PSQI scores were evaluated between group 1 and group 2, statistically significant differences were detected (p=0.011). It was concluded that group 1 scores were higher than group 2 and sleep quality is worse. When the PSQI scores and the BAI scores were compared, statistically significant differences were detected (p <0.05). It was found that while the PSQI scores increased, the BAI scores also increased. A statistically significant relationship was also found between BAI scores and the number of diseases (single or multiple diseases) of the home care patients (p = 0.037, p <0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, health expresses a state of complete physical, spiritual, and social well-being. We should evaluate the patient and caregiver in this context and respond to their needs. Sleep is a condition that affects human life entirely. If we want to see a healthy home care patient, we must first ensure that the caregiver is healthy.
