Objective: To investigate associations between quality of life, sex, age, burden, and nature of emotional support available in the family in older adults who are caregivers of older relatives. Method: Cross-sectional and correlational study on 148 caregivers gathered in public and private healthcare services, who were subjected to psychological measures of quality of life, burden, exchange of emotional support, sex, and age. Data were analyzed using Chi-square, Fisher’s exact test and path analyses (p < 0.05). Results: A total of 77% women, average age of 69.7 years. There were significant associations between exchange of support and burden due to the provided assistance, being a woman and satisfaction with the received support, satisfaction with the received support and burden, burden and quality of life, and satisfaction with the received support and feeling of burden due to the provided support. Conclusion: Satisfaction with the received emotional support moderate the association between sex and burden, and such moderate the association between satisfaction with emotional support and perceived quality of life.

“…These factors were identified by means of exploratory factorial analysis achieved following orthogonal varimax rotation and the commonality of the items of the Zarit Burden Interview Scale. 7 To investigate the quality of life as perceived by the caregiver, the CASP-19 scale was used for individuals aged 55 years and over. This acronym designates control, autonomy, self-realization and pleasure, and is based on Maslow's basic human needs theory 19 .…”

Objective: to investigate the relationships between the perceived quality of life of elderly people who care for other elderly people with neurological diseases (dementia and strokes) and the gender, age and caregiver burden, diagnosis, functional dependence, and cognitive status of the care recipient. Method: 75 caregivers aged over 60 years were interviewed using the Quality of Life Scale (CASP-19) and Zarit Burden Interview. The levels of physical vulnerability of the elderly were identified through the Lawton and Brody questionnaires and the Katz scale and the cognitive assessment of elderly care recipients was assessed with the Clinical Dementia Rating. The data were analyzed by chi-squared test (for comparison of categorical variables), Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis U tests (for comparison of continuous variables). To study the associations between variables, univariate logistic regression analysis was performed, followed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: the age, gender of the caregiver, type of neurological condition, and physical and cognitive functioning of the care recipient did not statistically influence the quality of life of the caregiver. Elderly caregivers with higher levels of burden (≥29) were 11.4 times more likely to have a worse quality of life score (CI: 3.16-36.77; p <0.001). Conclusion: the quality of life of the elderly caregiver is negatively influenced by the burden involved in caring for another elderly person. Identifying the negative emotional aspects of caregivers that negatively affect their quality of life should be considered a target for intervention by health teams.

“…Caregiver's responses are assessed through a ve point likert scale (never to always) and the scores range between 0-88. Getting a score of 0 to 20 showed little or no care burden, score of 21 to 40 a moderate, and the score of 41 to 88 a severe care burden (24,25). The validity of this tool was investigated and con rmed by Talebi et al (2016).…”

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to determine the factors affecting the abuse of the elderly by family caregivers among the elderly with hemodialysis (HD) using structural equation modeling.MethodThe study is descriptive-cross sectional, which is conducted in 2018 in Iran. The sample size was 367 in both groups (the elderly and their family caregivers). Data collection was done using an individual-social information questionnaire for the older adults under hemodialysis and their family caregivers, the questionnaire of elder abuse by family caregivers to the older people under hemodialysis, Zarit Burden Interview and the scale of instrumental activities of Daily Living (IADL). Data were analyzed by the SEM method. The Fitness of proposed pattern was measured using the following indexes: Chi-squared degree of freedom ratio (CMIN/DF), Parsimonious Normed Fit Index (PNFI), Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Parsimonious Comparative Fit Index (PCFI), Incremental fit index (IFI), Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA). The significant level in this study was considered p <0.05.ResultsThe results of the present study showed that more than 70% of the elderly suffer from elder abuse by family caregivers on average. The highest median elder abuse was related to emotional misbehavior (21.46±6.09) and financial misbehavior (19.07±5.33), respectively. 63.2% of caregivers have experienced moderate care burden. 81.4% of women and 80.5% of older men needed help with daily activities. The results showed that the caregivers’ level of education and care burden with standard beta coefficient of -0.251 and 0.200 and the level of elderly’s education and IADL with the best beta coefficient of -0.299 and -0.234, had the highest regression effect on elder abuse respectively. According to the results, the model-fit indices of the hypothesized model was meet the criteria, with the PNFI= 0.746, PCFI= 0.796, IFI= 0.963, GFI=0.970, CFI=0.967, and RMSEA= 0.075. The outcome was suitable for the recommended level, so the hypothetical model appeared to fit the data.ConclusionProviding psychological interventions for family caregivers can reduce the burden when the elderly suffers from other chronic illnesses.
