Abstract:

 Objectives: Caregivers care burden and burnout levels are projected to increase as the physical independence of their patients decreases. This study aimed to determine the care burden and burnout perception of caregivers of cancer patients. Methods: The study was conducted with 143 patient relatives who were providing primary care for patients treated between March 1 and June 1, 2017, in the clinics of the Institute of Oncology of Istanbul University. The data were collected using the  Personal information form , Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale and Maslach Burnout Inventory. Data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical program. Descriptive statistics frequency, percentage, mean, minimum, maximum, standard deviation student t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used for data analysis. Results: The mean score from the burden interview was found 27.3817.04. In the burnout inventory results, the mean of emotional exhaustion is 19.619.08, the mean of depersonalization is 8.785.38, and the mean of decrease in personal accomplishment is 29.665.91. Individuals perceptions of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization increase as their perception of care burden increases p.001. There was, however, no relationship between care burden and personal accomplishment p.05. The study demonstrated that caregivers care burden and burnout perceptions increased as cancer patients self-care ability worsened p.001. Conclusion: It has been found that the perceived care burden level is low and burnout level is middle among the caregivers of cancer patients. The patients level of dependency increases perceptions of caregiver burden and burnout increases too.
