Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the care burden of primary caregivers of young patients with brain tumor and to analyze the correlation between the care burden and social support level, in order to improve the mental health of caregivers, reduce the care burden and improve the quality of care for patients.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 173 primary caregivers of young inpatients with brain tumor who were admitted to Department of Neurosurgery of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from December 2018 to November 2019 were selected as the research objects. General data questionnaire, Caregivers Burden Inventory (CBI) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used to collect general information of caregivers, the care burden and the level of social support, Pearson correlation analysis of the correlation between care burden of the primary caregivers and social support level of young inpatients with brain tumor and use of the Logistic regression analysis to explore the influencing factors of care burden of the primary caregivers.Results:A total of 173 primary caregivers of young inpatients with brain tumor were investigated, and their CBI total score was (34.42±7.38) , which was at the medium burden level. Among them, a total of 13 (7.51%) had severe burden, 79 (45.66%) had moderate burden and 81 (46.82%) had mild burden. The total score of SSRS of caregivers was (43.61±8.46) , which was in the middle level of social support. Among them, a total of 71 (41.04%) had high level of social support, 92 (53.18%) had medium level of social support and 10 (5.78%) had low level of social support. Pearson correlation analysis showed that CBI score of caregivers was negatively correlated with SSRS score ( P< 0.05) . Logistic regression analysis showed that age, family monthly income per capita, daily care time, with or without a co-care, depression and social support level were the influencing factors of the caring burden of the caregivers of young inpatients with brain tumor ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The primary caregivers of young patients with brain tumor generally have different levels of care burden, and their burden degree is closely related to the level of social support. Age, family monthly income per capita, daily care time, with or without a co-carer, depression and social support level are the main factors affecting the burden of caregivers. Clinical nurses should take corresponding measures for the factors affecting the care burden and relevant institutions should actively build a policy support system for the primary caregivers, so as to reduce the burden of caregivers and improve the quality of care.
