Abstract:
Objective To explore the current situation and influencing factors of caregiver readiness of elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Methods From March 2021 to April 2022,the convenient sampling method was used to select 335 caregivers of elderly patients with chronic heart failure who were hospitalized in 6 hospitals in Hangzhou as the survey subjects.The general information questionnaire,Caregiver Readiness Scale and Caregiver Burden Scale were used to investigate the caregivers of elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Results A total of 326 valid questionnaires were collected.The score of Caregiver Readiness Scale for elderly patients with chronic heart failure was(18.88±6.36),and 61.04%of the caregivers had mild to moderate burden.The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the caregiver's age,education level and cumulative care time were the positive influencing factors of the caregiver readiness,and the caregiver burden was the negative influencing factor of the caregiver readiness(P＜0.001).Conclusion The caregiver readiness of elderly patients with chronic heart failure is at a medium level.Caregivers who are older,more educated,have a longer cumulative caregiving time,and have a lighter caregiving burden are more prepared.Medical staff should pay attention to the motivation of caregivers,provide professional support from multiple aspects,and reduce the burden of care,increase readiness level.
