Abstract:
Objective:To describe the status and influencing factors of the empowerment of caregivers after gastrointestinal tumor.Methods:From March 2019 to October 2019, using convenience sampling method, 124 pairs of gastrointestinal tumor patients and caregivers who were hospitalized in the general surgery and anorectal surgery of the department of Shandong Tai′an City Central Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University were selected as the subjects. A general information questionnaire, Main Caregivers′Empowerment Measurement were used as research tools. To investigate the empowerment ability of caregivers of patients with gastrointestinal tumors after operation.Results:The total caregiver′s empowerment score was 168.81 ± 19.49. The scores of each dimension ranged from high to low: relationship with caregivers (3.83 ± 0.43), expectation of care outcomes (3.80 ± 0.43), awareness of caregiving roles (3.70 ± 0.51), caregivers′ subjectivity (3.37 ± 0.60), caregiving beliefs (3.34 ± 0.67), caregiving knowledge and skills (3.27 ± 0.73), personal resources (2.94 ± 0.65), goodwill caregiving (2.85 ± 0.65) , the scruples around (2.75 ± 0.88). Multiple linear regression results showed that, patient gender, whether the disease is first attack, whether the patient is aware of the disease, the caregiver marriage, and the caregiver working status were the influencing factors of the caregiver′s empowerment ability after gastrointestinal tumor operation ( t values were -8.15-8.72, R2=0.62, all P<0.05). Conclusions:There is room for further improvement in the empowerment of caregivers after gastrointestinal tumor surgery, especially in personal resources, goodwill care and scruples around. The results suggest that medical staff should guide caregivers to emancipate their minds, enhance the breadth of empowerment, and promote self care and fast rehabilitation of patients.
