Popis: Caregivers for dialysis patients have endured tremendous burden and responsibilities in their daily lives from caregiving. Interventions that cater to them are essential, considering that they play an essential role in the illness management of patients. The purpose of this review is to examine the interventions implemented among the caregivers caring for patients diagnosed CKD and its effectiveness in alleviating the caregiver burden. PRISMA-ScR checklist was utilized as the reporting standard. Past studies were searched in four major citation databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Web of Science) in the timeframe of February 2022. Nine studies were identified, comprised of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies. The types of intervention programs reviewed were educational programs, supportive programs, family-centered programs, and psychological interventions. The evidences have suggested that these programs are effective in reducing caregiver burden among the caregivers of CKD patients.
