Abstract:

 


Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the burden
of care and self-efficacy of the caregiver family members of the individuals
with cerebrovascular disease.


Methods: The study sample included 250 caregiver family
members of the patients treated due to the diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease
between January 2011 and December 2012 at the Izmit Seka State Hospital. Data
were collected using the forms describing the characteristics of the caregivers
and the patients, "Caregiver Burden Scale", "Self Efficacy
Sufficiency Scale" and " Barthel Activities of Daily Living
Index". 


Results: The mean score of the caregivers included in the study from the
caregiver burden scale was 48.41±8.88. The caregivers' mean total score for
self-efficacy sufficiency was 82.21±10.33. There
was a positive and poorly significant correlation between the mean total score
for caregiver burden and the sub-dimension of starting the behavior (p=0.038,
r=0.131) and negative and poorly significant correlation between the
sub-dimension of struggling with obstacles (p=0.007, r=-0.170).







            Conclusion: The findings of this study might assist with the
training of caregivers, and help nurses develop more holistic approach towards
caregivers and their patients.

ABSTRACT


Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the burden of care and self-efficacy
of the caregiver family members of the patients with cerebrovascular disease.


Methods: The study sample included 250 caregiver family members
of the patients treated due to the diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease between
January 2011 and December 2012 at the Izmit Seka State Hospital. Data were

Results: The mean score of the caregivers included in the study from the
caregiver burden scale was 48.41±8.88. The caregivers' mean total score for
self-efficacy sufficiency was 82.21±10.33. There was a positive and poorly
significant correlation between the mean total score for caregiver burden and
the sub-dimension of starting the behavior (p=0.038, r=0.131) and negative and
poorly significant correlation between the sub-dimension of struggling with
obstacles (p=0.007, r=-0.170).


Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that there is a
relationship between care burden and self efficacy of the caregivers who give
care to patients with cerebrovascular disease. It is recommended that
caregivers should be supported because of the care burden and self efficacy.

ÖZET 


Serebrovasküler Hastalığı Olan Hastalara Bakım
Veren Aile Üyelerinin Bakım Yükü ve Öz Etkililiklerinin Değerlendirilmesi


Amaç: Çalışmada, serebrovasküler hastalığı olan hastalara bakım
veren aile üyelerinin bakım yükü ve öz etkililiklerinin değerlendirilmesi
amaçlanmıştır.


Yöntem: Çalışmanın örneklemini, İzmit Seka Devlet Hastanesi’nde Ocak
2011-Aralık 2012 tarihleri arasında serebrovasküler hastalık tanısı nedeniyle
tedavi almış hastalara bakım veren 250 aile üyesi oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama,
hastaların evlerine gidilip bakım verenler ile yüz yüze görüşülerek
yapılmıştır. Veriler, bakım veren ve hasta bireyi tanımlayıcı özellikler
formları, ‘‘Bakım Verme Yükü Ölçeği’’, ‘‘Öz Etkililik Yeterlik Ölçeği’’ ve
‘‘Barthel Günlük Yaşam Aktiviteleri İndeksi’’ kullanılarak toplanmıştır.


Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan bakım verenlerin bakım verme yükü
ölçeğinden aldıkları puan ortalaması 48.41±8.88 bulunmuştur. Bakım verenlerin
öz-etkililik yeterlik ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması ise 82.21±10.33 olarak saptanmıştır.
Bakım verme yükü ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması ile davranışa başlama alt boyutu
arasında pozitif yönde zayıf düzeyde anlamlı (p=0,038, r=0,131) ve engellerle
mücadele alt boyutu ile de negatif yönde zayıf düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki
olduğu belirlenmiştir (p=0,007, r= -0,170). 


Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda, serebrovasküler hastalığı olan hastalara bakım
verenlerin bakım yükü ile öz yeterlik arasında ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır.
Bakım yükü ve öz etkililik açısından bakım verenlerin desteklenmesi önerilmektedir.
