Abstract:
Objective:To understand the filialpiety values, anxiety and caregiving burden of caregivers of patients with chronic heart failure and to analyze the mediating effect of filialpiety values on the relationship between anxiety and caregiving burden.
Methods:During April 2017 to April 2018, 191children caregivers of patients with chronic heart failure from 3 secondary and tertiary medical institutions in Suzhou, Nanjing and Kunshan were selected to complete Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety, Chinese Filial Values Index scale (FVI) and Dutch Objective Burden Inventory (DOBI).
Results:The total score of caregivers' anxiety, filialpiety values and caregiving burden were 3(0, 6), 96(84, 107) and 1(0, 9) respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the caregivers' anxiety was positively correlated with the caregiving burden (r=0.328, P<0.01), while filialpiety values were negatively correlated with caregiving burden (r=-0.537, P<0.01). Mediating-effect analysis showed that anxiety had a negative effect on filialpiety values (a=-0.61, P=0.02), and had a positive effect on caregiving burden (c=0.64, P=0.01). The filialpiety values had a negative effect on caregiving burden (b=-0.43, P<0.01). Filialpiety values played a partial mediating role between anxiety and caregiving burden (c' = 0.26, P<0.05).
Conclusions:Medical staff should establish targeted interventions to improve caregivers′ filialpiety values, thereby reducing their caregiving burden.
