“…nın (2014) yaptığı çalışmada, hastalığın başlangıç yaşı, hastaneye yatış sayısı ve aktif semptomların varlığı ile bakım veren yükü arasında ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. [48][49][50] Literatürde bakımverenin algıladığı yükün, depresyon, anksiyete, tükenmişlik, fiziksel sağlıkta azalma, sosyal destek gibi değişkenlerle ilişkili olduğu belirtilmiştir.

Kronik ruhsal hastalıklar, bireylerin duygu, düşünce ve bilişsel yetilerinde bozulmalara, kişilik ve bireysel alışkanlıklarında değişimlere, sosyal ve ekonomik kayıplara yol açmaktadır. [1,2] Ruh sağlığı hizmetlerinin sunulmasıyla ilgili çağdaş modeller toplum temelli tedavilere ve uzun süreli hastane yatışlarının önlenmesine önem vermektedir. [3,4] Kronik ruhsal hastalığı olan bireylerin %10'u uzun vadede bakıma ihtiyaç duymakta ve çoğu aileleri ile birlikte yaşamaktadır. [4,5] Günümüzde hastayı toplumda ve kendi ortamı içinde tedavi etme yaklaşımının benimsenmesiyle, hasta yakınları birincil bakım verici konuma gelmiş ve sorumlulukları artmıştır. Bu durum beraberinde bir dizi sorunu getirmiştir. [6-8] Ailesiyle yaşayan hastaların çoğu tüm gününü evde geçirmekte, aileden en az bir kişi hasta bakımı nedeni ile sosyal yaşam ve üretim sürecinden uzak kalmakta ve aileler fiziksel, ruhsal, duygusal, sosyal ve ekonomik sorunlar yaşamaktadır. [4,9-11] SİSTEMATİK DERLEME / SYSTEMATIC REVIEW SUMMARY Objectives: This systematic review analyzes caregiver burden in chronic mental illness and the factors associated with it. Methods: The study was conducted by checking the Turkish Psychiatry Index, the Turkish Medical Index, the Turkish Medline, the National Council of Higher Education Thesis Center and the PubMed databases. The database research was performed in English and Turkish using keywords and synonyms for them. Twenty-three studies were included in this study. Results: The majority of the studies included in the review were descriptive and studied schizophrenic patients' caregivers. They used a variety of measurement instruments. It was found that the burden perception of caregivers was moderate to severe and was influenced by different variables. Conclusion: Experimental studies are insufficient to determine the burden of caregivers in Turkey, so experimental and qualitative studies should be conducted with different specific samples.

“…The paradigm of chronic care should be shifted from a patient‐centred approach to a combined patient–caregiver approach to empower the patients and their family caregivers (Olawale et al . ) and thereby enhance the care‐giving experiences of the family caregivers.…”

This article examines the experiences of family caregivers working with patients affected by overactive bladder (OAB) in Hong Kong. Chronic diseases create physical and emotional burdens not only for patients but also for family caregivers, who often experience physical and emotional burnout and social impairment. Extensive literature has pertained to caregiver experiences in western and non-western settings; however, few studies have addressed the livelihoods and experiences of family caregivers of patients with OAB in ethnic Chinese communities. Because of the increasing prevalence of OAB worldwide, this study investigated the experiences of such caregivers in Hong Kong, examining their emotional and social needs. A qualitative research design with individual semistructured interviews was adopted, and snowball sampling was used to recruit 35 family caregivers who were referred by patients with OAB. The participants were interviewed individually from May to August 2013. A phenomenological approach was adopted in the data analysis. The data revealed that all participants had unpleasant experiences in caring for family members with OAB. A sense of powerlessness, helplessness, confusion and guilt, as well as grievances and social withdrawal, was prevalent, causing great physical and emotional suffering and subsequent physical and emotional burnout. These negative experiences were often caused by confusion regarding caretaking duties. The negative emotions of the participants and their family members also caused a lack of communication and mutual understanding about the disease, causing care-giving to be even more confusing and difficult. Furthermore, because of traditional Chinese cultural values and gender expectations, male participants experienced the triple burden of employment, domestic duties and care-giving. More holistic social and healthcare support services should be provided for care-giving family members of patients with OAB patients, empowering such caregivers to attend to family members and care for their own emotional well-being.

Objectives:To examine the construct and correlates of hopelessness among family caregivers of Nigerian psychiatric patients.Materials and Methods:This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study involving 264 family caregiver-patients’ dyads recruited from two university teaching hospitals psychiatric clinics in Southwestern Nigeria.Results:Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor 9-item model of the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) among the family caregivers. Confirmatory factor analysis of the model revealed satisfactory indices of fitness (goodness of fit index = 0.97, comparative fit index = 0.96, Chi-square/degree of freedom (CMIN/DF) = 1.60, root mean square error of approximation = 0.048, expected cross-validation index = 0.307, and standardized root mean residual = 0.005). Reliability of the scale was modestly satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha 0.72). Construct validity of scale was supported by significant correlations with the family caregivers’ scores on the Zarit Burden Interview, mini international neuropsychiatric interview suicidality module, General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The greatest variance in the family caregivers’ scores on the BHS was contributed by their scores on the psychological distress scale (GHQ-12).Conclusions:The BHS has adequate psychometric properties among Nigerian psychiatric patients’ family caregivers. There is the need to pay attention to the psychological well-being of the family caregivers of Nigerian psychiatric patients.
