Abstract:
Objective:To explore the correlation between technical anxiety and home care readiness in aged caregivers of stroke patients.Methods:From March to June 2022, 160 aged caregivers of stroke patients from the Department of Neurology and Rehabilitation of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's Hospital were selected as research objects by convenience sampling and investigated with the general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Technical Anxiety Scale for the Aged and the Chinese version of the Caregiver's Readiness for Home Care Scale. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between technical anxiety and home care readiness in aged caregivers of stroke patients. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of home care readiness of aged caregivers of stroke patients. A total of 160 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 151 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 94.4% (151/160) .Results:The home care readiness score of the aged caregivers of stroke patients was (49.42±7.54), and the technical anxiety score was (30.44±6.76). Pearson correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between home care readiness and technical anxiety among aged caregivers of stroke patients ( r=-0.577, P<0.01). Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that technical anxiety was an influencing factor of home care readiness among aged caregivers of stroke patients ( P<0.01), which could account for 9.50% of the variance in home care readiness. Conclusions:The home care readiness of the aged caregivers of stroke patients needs to be improved, and technical anxiety is an influencing factor of their home care readiness. Nursing staffs and community workers should help aged caregivers of stroke patients overcome anxiety and fear of new technologies, help them use digital health information and medical services, so as to improve home care readiness.
