“…This is consistent with the findings of a study conducted by (53) in the United States of America, which revealed that more than two-fifths of caregivers reported a high level of burden, more than one-third reported a medium level of burden, and more than onefifth reported a low level of caregiver burden. It was also endorsed by the study of (54) conducted in Nigeria who stated in his study that less than two-fifths of his study sample experienced severe burden, more than one-quarter of his study sample experienced moderate burden, and more than one-tenth of his study participants recorded a low level of burden. Also, it was supported by the study of (55) conducted in Egypt who illustrated that more than twofifths of their study sample reported a high and a moderate level of burden and more than one -fifth of the study participants reported a low level of burden.…”

“…Previous studies in the sub-Saharan ( Dotchin et al, 2014 and Mugisha et al, 2013 ) as well Nigerian studies on caregiving have focused on specific illness conditions especially mental illness ( Adeosun, 2013 and Jack‐Ide, Uys, & Middleton, 2013 ) and ( Yusuf, Nuhu, & Akinbiyi, 2009 ) older adults with hip fracture ( Diameta et al, 2018 ), cancer ( Akpan-Idiok & Anarado, 2014 ), and patients with End-Stage Renal Disease ( Oyegbile & Brysiewicz, 2017 ). Similarly, Faronbi (2018) and Faronbi and Olaogun (2017) quantitatively examined the burden of caregiving for older adults chronic illness. Despite all these arrays of studies, little information exists that qualitatively examines caregivers’ burden among caregivers of older adults with chronic illness from most low-income countries.…”

Background Caregivers of the elderly with chronic illnesses are exposed to the burden associated with their caregiving activities. This study described the lived experience of caregivers of older adults in Nigeria. Methods A qualitative design guided by interpretive phenomenology informed the design of the research, whereby 15 in-depth interviews were conducted with caregivers of older adults with chronic illnesses. The interview sessions were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim and analysed using constant comparison analysis method. Results Fifteen caregivers, from different parts of Osun State, Nigeria, took part in the in-depth interviews. The caregivers were aged between 19 and 70 years, ten were women, five of them had secondary education, seven were self-employed and six were in a spousal relationship. The study uncovered four interrelated themes with explanatory subthemes—commitment to preservation of life ( man aging challenges associated with daily routine, problem with mobility, bathing and grooming, feeding, and problem with hygiene ) (ii) denial ( refusal to accept that burden exists) , other things suffer ( disruption of family process, suffering from poor health and social isolation ), (iv) reciprocity of care ( pride in caregiving, caregiving as a necessity and not by choice, and law of karma ). Conclusion This study provides insight into the burden of care of older adults with chronic illness. Caregivers’ commitment to preserving life makes them provide assistance whose performance even run contrary to their own wellbeing. Intervention programme should be designed to support the caregivers thereby improving their wellbeing.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the interrelationship between anticipatory grief (AG), caregiver burden, communication, preparation for death, and coping style. Methods: A convenience sample of 256 Chinese family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer were recruited from an academic cancer hospital between April 2018 and May 2019. This cross-sectional survey included the AG Scale, caregiver burden (Caregiver Reaction Assessment), communication (Caregivers' Communication with Patients about Illness and Death Scale), preparation for death, and coping style (Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire). Structural equation modeling tested the interrelation between them. Results: The final model fitted the data acceptably (χ 2 = 25.79, degrees of freedom = 17, P = 0.08, root mean square error of approximation = 0.05, goodness-of-fit index [GFI] = 0.98, adjusted GFI [AGFI] = 0.95, parsimony GFI [PGFI] = 0.46, normed fit index = 0.94, comparative fit index = 0.98). Poor communication contributed to less preparation for death and caregiver burden, which further aggravate AG. Communication was positively associated with AG. In addition, communication and positive coping style interacted to further influence caregiver burden. Conclusions: Preliminary results supported the model and showed that poor communication, less preparation for death, and caregiver burden contributed to AG while positive coping alleviated AG. Findings suggest the need for further studies to explore effective intervention for communication, preparation for death, burden, and coping style of caregivers to ultimately alleviate AG.
