The notion of caregiver 'burden' has been used as a term that refers to the financial, physical and emotional effects of caring. This Australian 2002 research investigated the caregiver burden of HIV/AIDS on the gay male carers of gay men with the disease.
This study was a phenomenological inquiry and employed van Manen's approach to content analysis. Data saturation occurred at twelve participants.
The findings produced carer themes relating to coping with the burden of care of a person living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the context of living day-to-day with HIV/AIDS, coping with the last phase of AIDS toward death, saying goodbye and remembrance.
Allocating resources to gay male carers such as; education, respite care, family therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address grief and stigma issues, has implications for how health services might reduce the burden of care for these carers.
“照顾者负担”这一概念被用来指代照顾他人所带来的经济、身体和情感影响。这项 2002 年澳大利亚的研究调查了男同性恋艾滋病患者的男同性恋照顾者所承受的艾滋病相关照顾者负担。
本研究采用现象学探究方法，并运用范梅南的内容分析方法。在 12 名参与者中达到了数据饱和。
研究结果产生了与应对艾滋病病毒/艾滋病感染者（PLWHA）的照顾负担相关的主题，这些感染者在日常生活中应对艾滋病的最后阶段、临近死亡时的告别和缅怀。
为男同性恋照顾者分配资源，如为他们提供教育、暂息护理、家庭治疗和认知行为疗法（CBT），以解决悲伤和耻辱问题，这对卫生服务机构减轻这些照顾者的照顾负担具有重要意义。
