Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of family care on self-perceived burden ( SPB ) in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods A total of 256 maintenance hemodialysis patients were investigated with general information questionnaire, the Family APGAR Index, and self-perceived burden SPB scale. The effect of family care on self-perceived burden was analyzed by hierarchical regression analysis. Results Patients′mean SPB score was(36. 27 ± 6. 89), and the score of family care was (6. 62 ± 1. 59). It was shown in the hierarchical regression analysis that the adaptation, affection and intimacy in family care could explain 31. 6% of total variance of self-perceived burden in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Conclusions SPB is prevalent in maintenance hemodialysis patients, and family care is an important influencing factor of self-perceived burden. Clinical doctors and nurses should reduce their self-perceived burden by improving family care.
