Factors Related to Burden among Male Caregivers of Older Adults with Stroke, Samutsakhon Province
Keywords:
Male caregivers, Older Adult with Stroke, BurdenAbstract
This study aimed to describe male caregiver burden and identify the factors related to burden among male caregivers of older adults with stroke. A simple random sampling was used to recruit ninety-seven male caregivers in the out-patient department neurologic clinic at Banphaeo General Hospital, Samutsakhon Province. The research instruments were questionnaires that included: demographic information, Barthel ADL Index, depression, and Zarit caregiver burden. Data collection was conducted from May to August 2021. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data.
The results revealed that the sample had a moderate burden (M = 29.64, SD = 12.20). For correlation, male caregiver burden was significantly positively correlated with depression of caregivers and duration of care for older adults with stroke (r = .626, p < .001; r = .378, p < .001, respectively), and negatively correlated with activities of daily living of older adult with stroke (r = -.630, p < .001). The findings suggest that nurses and healthcare providers should apply these results to develop programs to promote activities of daily living for older stroke survivors that may further aid in reducing the male caregiver burden and duration of caregiving.
