Factors influencing caregiver burden in families of hospitalised patients with lung cancer
Abstract
Aims and objectives To investigate the factors influencing caregiver burden in families of hospitalised lung cancer patients. Background Even though cancer symptoms among hospitalised lung cancer patients are serious and negatively affect caregivers, few research regarding to the factors of caregiver burden in hospitalised lung cancer patient has been carried out. Design Cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study. Methods A convenience sample of hospitalised lung cancer patients (n = 107) was recruited from K University hospital in South Korea. Family depression, social support and caregiver burden as well as patients' lung cancer symptoms were measured using peer-reviewed and standard measurement tools. Descriptive statistics and parametric tests including stepwise regression were used to analyse the data. The STROBE guideline has been used to report this study. Results Caregiver burden among the families of hospitalised lung cancer patients was high; the regression model for caregiver burden among participants' families was significant. Depression among families was found to be the most influential factor for caregiver burden, followed by patients' lung cancer symptoms. Conclusions This study revealed that family caregivers' depression and patients' lung cancer symptoms were the most significant factors for families' caregiver burden. Future research should be conducted to identify the causes of depression among families of hospitalised lung cancer patients and de…

Prior studies have reported that the presence of depression is related to caregiver burden.
“Estudios han reportado que la edad (11-14), el nivel educativo (12), el tiempo como cuidador (12), su calidad de vida (15), el ser el único responsable de cuidar (14) y la presencia de depresión (13, 16) se relacionaron con sobrecarga en el cuidador.”

Prior studies have reported that patient unpleasant symptoms from the disease are associated with high caregiver burden.
“Así mismo, se ha asociado con altos niveles de sobrecarga en el cuidador el hecho de que el paciente presente disfunción en las actividades de la vida diaria (12), hospitalizaciones (12) o experimente síntomas desagradables por la enfermedad (16).”

Previous studies identified factors that may determine the presence and severity of caregiver burden, such as the absence of a helper, longer stay in the hospital, marital status, education of caregivers, type of treatment facility and the time elapsed since cancer diagnosis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
