“…Providing the support in the acute phase of stroke is to be encouraged so as to prevent unwanted consequences of negative first caregiving experience. These might include the same person not wanting to continue with caregiving, adverse health effects, particularly the mental health, poor likelihood of engaging in preventive health measures, and also the eventual institutionalization of care-recipient [ 13 , 14 , 32 , 38 , 39 ]. One-half of all caregivers reportedly have at least one chronic condition [ 30 , 40 ].…”

BackgroundProviding informal caregiving in the acute in-patient and post-hospital discharge phases places enormous burden on the caregivers who often require some form of social support. However, it appears there are few published studies about informal caregiving in the acute in-patient phase of individuals with stroke particularly in poor-resource countries. This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of caregiving burden and its association with patient and caregiver-related variables and also level of perceived social support in a sample of informal caregivers of stroke survivors at an acute stroke-care facility in Nigeria.MethodsEthical approval was sought and obtained. Fifty-six (21 males, 35 females) consecutively recruited informal caregivers of stroke survivors at the medical ward of a tertiary health facility in South-Southern Nigeria participated in this cross-sectional survey. Participants’ level of care-giving strain/burden and perceived social support were assessed using the Caregiver Strain Index and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support respectively. Caregivers’ and stroke survivors’ socio-demographics were also obtained. Data was analysed using frequency count and percentages, independent t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and partial correlation at α =0.05.ResultsThe prevalence of care-giving burden among caregivers is 96.7% with a high level of strain while 17.9% perceived social support as low. No significant association was found between caregiver burden and any of the caregiver- or survivor-related socio-demographics aside primary level education. Only the family domain of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support was significantly correlated with burden (r = − 0.295).ConclusionInformal care-giving burden was highly prevalent in this acute stroke caregiver sample and about one in every five of these caregivers rated social support low. This is a single center study. Healthcare managers and professionals in acute care facilities should device strategies to minimize caregiver burden and these may include family education and involvement.

“…Additionally, the circumstances of the care system in Japan have changed greatly after long-term care insurance was introduced in 2000, with the patient need for care having increased [ 18 ] along with the available care service [ 19 ]. Thus, hospitalized patients can now return home with comprehensive care services provided from suppliers other than their family, even if the ADL of the patient is limited.…”

Purpose. The aim of this study was to assess whether the home care score (HCS), which was developed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Japan in 1992, is useful for the prediction of advisability of home care. Methods. Subjects living at home and in assisted-living facilities were analyzed. Binominal logistic regression analyses, using age, sex, the functional independence measure score, and the HCS, along with receiver operating characteristic curve analyses, were conducted. Findings/Conclusions. Only HCS was selected for the regression equation. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve (0.9), sensitivity (0.82), specificity (0.83), and positive predictive value (0.84) for HCS were higher than those for the functional independence measure, indicating that the HCS is a powerful predictor for advisability of home care. Clinical Relevance. Comprehensive measurements of the condition of provided care and the activities of daily living of the subjects, which are included in the HCS, are required for the prediction of advisability of home care.

“…(2015)'nın yaptıkları çalışmada da serebrovasküler hastalığı olan hastaya evde uzun süredir bakım veren primer bakım vericilerin bakım veren yüklerinin ciddi düzeyde yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. [23] Bununla birlikte bakım vericinin bakım verdiği saat arttıkça, bakım veren yükünün de arttığını gösteren çalışmalar bulunmaktadır.

The sample of the study consists of 64 people who care for patients with neurological problems and who agreed to participate in the research. An information form, the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale and the Stress Coping Styles Scale were administered to the participants. Results: The participants' mean caregiver burden score was 31.90±15.56. Their self-confident approach score was 2.41±0.54, their optimistic score approach was 2.42±0.59, and their helpless approach score was 1.49±0.63. Their yielding approach score was 1.64±0.49, and their social support seeking approach score was 1.79±0.66. Care giving burden was found to be higher for primary caregivers, for individuals who have another patient requiring care and for female caregivers (p<0.05). A significant negative relation was found between caregiver burden, self-confident approach and optimistic approach scores, while a positive moderate relation was found between helpless and yielding approach scores. Conclusion: Caregivers for patients with neurological problems use less self-confident and optimistic approaches and more helpless and yielding approaches as their caregiver burden increases. Female caregivers and caregivers having another patient who requires care have greater caregiving burden.
