This descriptive research was aimed at studying the relationship between the basic conditioning factors, knowledge about PAOD of the caregivers, and the caregivers’ behavior in caring for patients with PAOD. The conceptual framework used in this study was Orem’s Theory of Self-care Deficit. The sample was composed of 60 caregivers of PAOD patients seeking treatment in the Vascular Surgery Department in a university affiliated hospital. Data were collected using a personal data questionnaire, the PAOD knowledge questionnaire and the questionnaire on caregivers’ behavior in caring for patients with PAOD. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient and Spearman rank correlation coefficient.
According to the findings, most of the caregivers were females aged 30 – 72 years with bachelor’s degree. Nearly half of the sample had hypertension as a chronic disease. Most of the patients were males aged 60 – 95 years. The overall knowledge of the caregivers regarding PAOD was low. The overall caregivers’ behavior in caring for the patients with PAOD was high. The correlations between basic conditioning factors and caregivers’ behavior in caring for patients were not encountered, however, knowledge about PAOD of the caregivers and the caregivers’ behavior in caring for patients with PAOD were found to be significantly correlated (r = .038)
The findings of this study indicated that nurses should promote the caregivers in gaining knowledge about PAOD with emphasis on controlling metabolic risk factors, weight control and teaching skills in palpation of peripheral pulse, checking the feet, and observing abnormal symptoms from medications in order for caregivers to be able to assess, anticipate, and prevent complications from PAOD of patients.
