Abstract:
Objective To explore the caregiver burden and psychological resilience of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and the correlation between the two factors.Methods Totally 96 caregivers of dilated cardiomyopathy patients were selected by convenience sampling and investigated for their level of burden and psychological resilience with the Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI) and Conor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The correlation between the two factors was then analyzed.Results The CBI score of these caregivers was (47.19±10.38), significantly higher than the average level nationwide (24.2±5.8). Their CD-RISC score was (63.07±13.18), lower than (65.4±13.9) of China's community population. There was apparent negative correlation between caregiver burden and psychological resilience (r=-0.62,P<0.01). The total score of resilience was negatively related to the burden of development constraint, social burden and emotional burden (r=-0.72, -0.65, -0.51;P<0.01).Conclusions The caregivers of dilated cardiomyopathy patients have a heavy burden, which is negatively correlated with their psychological resilience. Therefore, measures should be taken in clinical work to optimize the caregivers' psychological resilience, reduce their burden, and improve their quality of care.
