To analyze the association between the caring ability of family caregivers of patients on cancer treatment with the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, as well as the sociodemographic characteristics of the caregivers and of the care provided.
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 132 family caregivers of patients on cancer treatment whose data were collected through the Brazilian version of the Caring Ability Inventory and questionnaires characterizing patients, caregivers and the care provided. Student's t, Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis tests were used at the significance level ≤5%.
Patients' age was significantly associated with overall caring ability (p = 0.002) and the caregiver's dimensions courage (p = 0.006) and patience (p = 0.009). Caregivers' education was associated with overall caring ability (p = 0.028) and the dimensions courage (p = 0.008) and patience (p = 0.045). Marital status was associated with the overall caring ability (p = 0.020); and the patience dimension (p = 0.045) and the time providing care with the patience dimension (p = 0.027).
Caregivers of elderly patients who have higher schooling and do not have a partner demonstrate greater caring ability.
分析癌症治疗患者家庭照顾者的照护能力与患者的人口统计学和临床特征、照顾者的社会人口学特征以及所提供照护之间的关联。
对132名癌症治疗患者的家庭照顾者进行了一项横断面研究，通过巴西版的照护能力量表以及描述患者、照顾者和所提供照护的问卷收集数据。采用学生t检验、曼-惠特尼检验或克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验，显著性水平≤5%。
患者年龄与总体照护能力（p = 0.002）、照顾者维度勇气（p = 0.006）和耐心（p = 0.009）显著相关。照顾者的教育程度与总体照护能力（p = 0.028）、勇气维度（p = 0.008）和耐心维度（p = 0.045）相关。婚姻状况与总体照护能力（p = 0.020）、耐心维度（p = 0.045）以及提供照护时间与耐心维度（p = 0.027）相关。
学历较高且没有伴侣的老年患者的照顾者表现出更强的照护能力。
