Family caregivers care for their family members with diseases and encounter significant changes in their daily lives, but few studies have explored it.
This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the quality of life in family caregivers.
This study adopted a cross-sectional design. Questionnaires were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0.
Eight-seven high-burden family caregivers and 87 non-high-burden caregivers were recruited.
Female caregivers are the primary family caregivers. High-burden family caregivers' self-efficacy and quality of life were significantly lower than those of non-high-burden caregivers ( < .05, < .001). Family caregivers' self-efficacy and burden explained 29% to 43% of the variance in different domains of quality of life among family caregivers.
Self-efficacy and high burden are associated with quality of life in family caregivers.
家庭照顾者照顾患有疾病的家庭成员,其日常生活会发生重大变化,但对此进行探索的研究较少。
本研究旨在确定与家庭照顾者生活质量相关的因素。
本研究采用横断面设计。通过问卷调查收集数据。使用SPSS 23.0进行数据分析。
招募了87名高负担家庭照顾者和87名非高负担照顾者。
女性照顾者是主要的家庭照顾者。高负担家庭照顾者的自我效能感和生活质量显著低于非高负担照顾者(<0.05,<0.001)。家庭照顾者的自我效能感和负担解释了家庭照顾者生活质量不同领域中29%至43%的方差。
自我效能感和高负担与家庭照顾者的生活质量相关。
