Abstract
Introduction: In patients with renal insufficiency, it is necessary for the family to take supportive measures for the dialysis patient, both at home and in outpatient centers such as hospital dialysis wards. Caregivers of these patients often spend a lot of time caring for them and endure a lot of fatigue and care pressure. This study was performed to determine the amount of care pressure and its related factors in caregivers of hemodialysis patients referred to Razi Hospital in Rasht in 2013.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 154 hemodialysis patient caregivers referred to Razi Hospital in Rasht were selected by the gradual sampling method. Data were collected through interviews by completing two questionnaires "Zariat care pressure" and "Patient-caregiver individual-social factors" and using SPSS 22 statistical software and descriptive and inferential statistical tests (independent t-test). One-way analysis of variance, Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient and rank logistic regression model were analyzed.
Results: 74.7% of the studied units have severe care pressure. Between the amount of care pressure with the caregiver's age (p = 0.005), duration of patient care (p = 0.009), caregiver's marriage (P = 0.001), caregiver's illness (P = 0.003), type of housing ( P = 0.048), living with the patient (P = 0.001), caring education (P = 0.001), income status (p = 0.008), patient ratio (p = 0.017), patient ability ( Statistically significant relationship was observed between p = 0.0001), patient care needs (p = 0.0001) and being a member of dialysis association (p = 0.003). A logistic regression model was used to determine the predictive effect of individual and social variables of patient and caregiver and the results showed that the variables of caregiver marriage, patient life, patient ability, and duration of patient care have a significant relationship with caregivers care pressure.
Conclusion: In this study, the findings showed that some individual-social factors such as caregiver marriage, patient life, patient ability, and duration of patient care have a significant relationship with caregivers' care pressure and are predictors of care pressure. It is recommended that caregivers who have these conditions pay more attention to the study of care pressure and measures needed to reduce stress.
