Abstract

With the increase in the diabetic foot patients in recent decades, the caregivers of diabetic foot patients increase too. Most of these caregivers are informal caregivers. However, the studies examining the burden of the caregivers and affecting factors are limited. This study was conducted to determine the burden of the caregivers of diabetic foot patients and affecting factors. This cross-sectional study was conducted between the January and October 2020 in a diabetic foot council of a university hospital. Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale and a participant identification form were used for data collection. Most of the caregivers were female (75.2%) and the mean age was 51.27 ± 11.48 years. The burden of the caregivers was at moderate level in the current study. Factors affecting the caregivers' burden were caregivers' age, patients' family structure, caregivers' education level, caregivers' income level, hours per week spending for the care of the patients, and lack of choice.

糖尿病足患者护理人员负担及影响因素的横断面研究

近几十年来，随着糖尿病足患者人数的增加，糖尿病足患者的护理人员也在增加。这些照顾者大多是非正式的照顾者。然而，研究照顾者负担和影响因素的研究有限。本研究旨在确定糖尿病足患者护理人员的负担及其影响因素。这项横断面研究于2020年1月至10月在一所大学医院的糖尿病足委员会进行。Zarit护理人员负担量表和参与者身份表用于数据收集。大多数照顾者是女性（75.2%），平均年龄为51.27岁 ± 11.48岁。在目前的研究中，照顾者的负担处于中等水平。影响照顾者负担的因素包括照顾者的年龄、患者的家庭结构、照顾者的教育水平、照顾者收入水平、每周照顾患者的时间以及缺乏选择。
