Aims: This study was conducted in order to determine care burden and quality of life of the caregivers of the patients with stroke.Methodology: The current study which was descriptively done in order to assess care burden and quality of life of the caregivers of the patients with stroke was carried out at a Neurology Clinics of a state hospital. The sample of the study was consisted of 121 caregivers. The data were collected with personal information form, the Barthel Index, Caregiver Burden Scale and Quality of Life Scale (SF-36). Results: The patients demonstrated poor health on the SF-36, with a mean score of 52.91±14.25. The average burden score of caregivers was 48.66±10.61. A significant negative correlation was found between QOL and Caregiver burden (p< 0.001).Conclusions: It was determined that as the care burden of the caregivers increased their quality of life decreased. The nurse caregiving to the patients with stroke should provide their caregivers with information about the care to be offered at clinical and domestic settings will positively affect the quality of lives of both caregivers and carereceivers. |
