| Popis: | Purpose/objectives To describe and examine the relationship between caregiver burden and the affective disorders anxiety and depression in caregivers of patients with brain metastases. . Design Cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational. . Setting Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego. . Sample 56 family caregivers of patients with brain metastases from solid tumors at other primary sites. . Methods Self-administered survey. . Main research variables Caregiver burden, anxiety, and depression. . Findings With the exception of caregiver esteem, no statistically significant relationships were noted between impact on schedule, a dimension of caregiver burden, and screening positive for affective disorders. . Conclusions Findings from this study support previous reports indicating that the odds of having anxiety and depressive symptoms are greater in family caregivers who report higher levels of caregiver burden. . Implications for nursing The identification and management of caregiver burden are important considerations for a comprehensive cancer care program. Addressing the needs of the cancer caregiver, who is at heightened risk for various psychological, physical, financial, and social problems, is increasingly vital. |
