This is a randomized controlled trial study on 52 caregivers of hemodialysis patients referred an universitary hospital at Jahrom. The caregivers were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, Benson's relaxation was performed twice a day for 15 minutes each time, and continued for one month. Data collection tools included demographic information questionnaire and standard Zarit Burden Interview questionnaire which was completed by all participants before the intervention and one month after it.
After the intervention, the mean caregiver burden of hemodialysis patients in the intervention group decreased significantly compared to the control group (p<0.001). The results of paired t-test showed that in the intervention group, the mean scores of caregiver burden after the intervention (14.46± 10.91) was significantly lower than before the intervention (38.33±16.94) (p=0.001).
Benson's relaxation method can reduce caregiver burden in caregivers of hemodialysis patients.
这是一项针对杰尔姆市一所大学附属医院 52 名血液透析患者照顾者的随机对照试验研究。照顾者被随机分为干预组和对照组。在干预组中，每天进行两次本森放松，每次 15 分钟，持续一个月。数据收集工具包括人口统计学信息问卷和标准 Zarit 负担访谈问卷，所有参与者在干预前和干预后一个月完成了这些问卷。
干预后，与对照组相比，干预组血液透析患者照顾者的平均负担显著降低（p<0.001）。配对 t 检验结果显示，在干预组中，干预后照顾者负担的平均得分（14.46±10.91）明显低于干预前（38.33±16.94）（p=0.001）。
本森放松法可以降低血液透析患者照顾者的负担。
