Abstract

Background: Palliative care is a comprehensive service that includes not only the patient but also the caregivers.

Aims: This research was carried out to determine the relationship and factors affecting the burden and anger level of informal caregivers of patients.

Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with caregivers (n=206) of patients hospitalised in two Palliative Care Centers in Ordu, Türkiye.

Findings: 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.

Conclusions: 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.

缓和疗护中心非正式照护者照顾者负担与患者愤怒程度之关系。

背景:姑息治疗是一项综合服务，不仅包括病人，也包括照顾者。目的:本研究旨在探讨病患非正式照护者负担与愤怒程度的关系及影响因素。方法:本描述性研究对基耶省奥尔杜市两家姑息治疗中心住院患者的护理人员(n=206)进行。研究发现:照顾者负担与特质愤怒水平、特质愤怒与愤怒表达量表的愤怒进、愤怒出子维度得分存在显著的相关关系，而照顾者负担与特质愤怒与愤怒表达量表的愤怒控制子维度得分存在显著的负相关关系。结论:照顾过程负担对特质性愤怒水平、愤怒输入、愤怒输出有正向影响，但对愤怒控制有负向影响。护士应监测照顾者的愤怒水平和负担，并制定减少照顾者愤怒水平和负担所需的方案。
