Caregivers are significant persons to support and take care of older adults receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Particularly, Older adults with decreased physical ability. This descriptive correlational research, was aimed to describe caregiving burdens, quality of life. and the relationships between caregiving burden and quality of life among caregivers of older adults receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The subjects were 155 caregivers of older adults receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis who visited the outpatient dialysis clinic at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Sanpatong Hospital and Sansai Hospital from November 2016 to April 2017. The samples were purposively selected based on the inclusion criteria. The research instruments were personal data record, the Zarit Burden Interview modified by Toonsiri, Sunsern, and Lawang (2011) and the Thai Abbreviated version of World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF-THAI) which was translated and refined by Mahatanirunkul et al. (1997). The instruments were tested for their reliability using Cronbach’s alpha which showed the result as .90 and .80 respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient.
The results revealed that: the caregiving burdens among caregiver of older adults receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was at a low level ( = 20.72 ± 13.82). The quality of life among caregivers of older adults receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was at a good level ( = 96.86 ± 12.05). Caregiving burdens among caregiver of older adults receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis had a moderate negative correlation with quality of life (p<.001) (r = -.46).
Nurses should support and assist the caregivers of older adults receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: therefore, they can have better quality of life.
