Abstract

Introduction: Palliative care is commonly defined as supportive care given to patients and their relatives in life-threatening situations where therapeutic approaches are insufficient. Diseases requiring palliative care are a process that affects the relatives as well as the patient. This can have economic, physical, psychological, and social impacts. Caregivers are directly affected by numerous factors of care burden. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of socio-demographic characteristics of caregivers and care burden on quality of life.
Methods: The study was cross-sectional. The study population consisted of the relatives of patients hospitalised in palliative care services in three public hospitals in Samsun between 1 July 2023 and 30 November 2023. No sample calculation was made in the study, and all relatives of patients who agreed to participate in the study were included (n=317). The study data were collected using the “Patient and Caregiver Information Form,” the “Caregiving Burden Scale”, and the “Quality of Life Scale”, which aim to reveal the socio-demographic characteristics of patients and caregivers. Percentage, frequency, correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used in the study.
Results: The mean age of the patients was X̄=65.48±11.81, 54.6% were male and 63.7% were being treated for neurological diseases. The mean age of caregivers was X̄=39.8±9.16, 55.2% were female. The mean care burden scale (X̄=51.78) and mean quality of life (X̄=17.77) were determined in the study. A moderate negative relationship was found between care burden and quality of life (r=-0.611, p<0.001). According to the results of multiple regression analysis, it was determined that quality of life was affected by age, degree of closeness and caregiving burden (p<0.05).
Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that quality of life decreased as the caregiving burden increased.

Abstract

Giriş: Palyatif bakım, yaygın olarak tedavi edici yaklaşımların yetersiz kaldığı yaşamı tehdit eden durumlarda hasta ve yakınlarına verilen destekleyici bakım olarak ifade edilmektedir. Palyatif bakım gerektiren hastalıklar, hasta kadar hasta yakınlarını da etkileyen bir süreçtir. Bu durum, ekonomik, fiziksel, ruhsal ve sosyal boyutlarda etkiler yaratabilir. Bakım verenler, bakım yükünün çeşitli faktörlerinden doğrudan etkilenirler. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı, bakım verenlerin sosyo-demografik özelliklerinin ve bakım yükünün yaşam kalitesine etkisini değerlendirmektir.
Yöntem: Çalışma kesitsel tiptedir. Çalışmanın evrenini Samsun’da üç kamu hastanesinde 1 Temmuz 2023- 30 Kasım 2023 tarihleri arasında palyatif bakım servislerinde yatan hasta yakınları oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada örneklem hesaplamasına gidilmeyip çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden tüm hasta yakınları çalışmaya alındı (n=317). Çalışma verileri hastaların ve bakım verenlerin sosyo-demografik özelliklerini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlayan “Hasta ve Bakım Veren Bilgi Formu”, Bakım Yükü Verme Ölçeği” ve “Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplandı. Çalışmada yüzde, frekans, korelasyon ve çoklu regresyon analizi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması X̄=65.48±11.81, %54.6’sı erkek ve %63.7’si nörolojik hastalıklar nedeniyle tedavi olmaktadır. Bakım verenlerin yaş ortalaması X̄=39.8±9.16, %55,2’si kadındır. Çalışmada bakım yükü ölçeği ortalaması (X̄=51.78) ve yaşam kalitesi ortalaması (X̄ =17.77) tespit edildi. Bakım yükü ile yaşam kalitesi arasında negatif yönlü orta düzeyde bir ilişki tespit edildi (r=-0.611, p<0.001). Çoklu regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre de yaşam kalitesinin yaş, yakınlık derecesi ve bakım yükünden etkilendiği belirlendi (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda bakım yükü arttıkça yaşam kalitesinin düştüğü belirlendi.
