Palliative care is a comprehensive service that includes not only the patient but also the caregivers.
This research was carried out to determine the relationship and factors affecting the burden and anger level of informal caregivers of patients.
This descriptive study was conducted with caregivers (n=206) of patients hospitalised in two Palliative Care Centers in Ordu, Türkiye.
In the research, it was determined that there was a statistically significant relationship between the burden of caregivers and the trait anger level, anger-in, anger-out sub-dimension scores of The Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scale, but a negative relationship was found between the burden of caregivers and anger control sub-dimension scores of The Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scale.
The burden of a caregiving process has a positive impact on the trait anger level, anger-in, anger-out but has a negative impact on anger control. Nurses should monitor a caregiver's level of anger and burden and develop programmes required to decrease the caregiver's anger level and burden.
姑息治疗是一项综合性服务，不仅包括患者，还包括护理人员。
本研究旨在确定影响患者非专业护理人员负担和愤怒水平的相关因素和关系。
本研究采用描述性研究方法，对土耳其奥尔杜市两家姑息治疗中心的 206 名患者护理人员进行调查。
研究结果表明，护理人员的负担与特质愤怒水平、特质愤怒和愤怒表达量表的愤怒内、愤怒外子维度评分之间存在显著的统计学关系，但与特质愤怒和愤怒表达量表的愤怒控制子维度评分之间存在负相关关系。
护理过程的负担对特质愤怒水平、愤怒内、愤怒外有积极影响，但对愤怒控制有负面影响。护士应监测护理人员的愤怒和负担水平，并制定必要的方案，以降低护理人员的愤怒水平和负担。
