Determination of Care Burden of Caregivers of Patients with Multiple Sclerosis in Turkey
Özet
The aim of this study was to determine the care burden of caregivers of patients with multiple sclerosis in Turkey. This descriptive study was conducted with 92 caregivers. To collect data, information form and Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZCBI) were used. Most of the caregivers (65.2%) were females and 71.7% of them were married. The average age of caregivers was 38 and above. The mean ZCBI score of caregivers was 25.44 +/- 9.50. The ZCBI score was significantly higher in caregivers providing care for more than six years (28.09 +/- 10.16). Additionally, the ZCBI score was significantly higher in caregivers providing care 3-4 hours per day (32.23 +/- 8.37) and providing physical care (29.28 +/- 5.18).
