Abstract:
Objective To investigate the current status of self-care contributions of family caregivers of elderly stroke patients and analyse the influencing factors.Methods Using convenience sampling method,170 family caregivers of elderly stroke patients hospitalised in the Departments of Neurology of two Tier-ⅢA hospitals in Guiyang between June and October 2023 were selected.Data were collected using general information questionnaires,the mutuality scale(MS),stroke knowledge questionnaire,social support rating scale(SSRS)and the self-care contribution assessment scale for caregivers of elderly stroke patients.Multiple linear regression was used to identify the factors that influenced self-care contributions.Results The score of self-care contribution of family caregivers was 40.97±15.04,including 15.24±6.94 for self-care maintenance,9.44±4.97 for self-care monitoring and 16.30±5.18 for self-care management.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that self-care contributions were significantly influenced(P<0.05)by the duration of care of family caregivers,knowledge of stroke,mutuality and the social support,toally accounting for 43.1％of the variation.Conclusion Family caregivers of elderly stroke patients show low self-care contributions.Medical staff should offer additional support to family caregivers who have a shorter caregiving time.Improvement of mutuality,knowledge of stroke and social support can improve caregivers'self-care contributions.
