The objective of this study is to compare and examine the relationships between levels of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and other variables on primary caregivers and cancer inpatients. The study involved 100 Turkish primary caregivers of inpatients with advanced or terminal stages of cancer. Loneliness and anxiety scores were significantly higher for the primary caregivers of inpatients with terminal stage of cancer than primary caregivers of inpatients with advanced stage of cancer. Excluding the cancer stage, loneliness and anxiety were primarily associated with the socio-demographic factors of primary caregivers rather than the characteristics of patients.
本研究的目的是比较和检验主要照料者与癌症住院患者的孤独感、焦虑、抑郁水平及其他变量之间的关系。该研究纳入了100名患有癌症晚期或终末期的住院患者的土耳其主要照料者。癌症终末期住院患者的主要照料者的孤独感和焦虑得分显著高于癌症晚期住院患者的主要照料者。排除癌症阶段因素后，孤独感和焦虑主要与主要照料者的社会人口学因素相关，而非与患者的特征相关。
