“…The main findings of the study show that both in 2014 and 2020 female caregivers suffered more anxiety and depression and consumed more drugs related to these pathologies (anxiolytics and antidepressants) than male caregivers. Different studies confirm the trend of these results and the association between sex and anxiety and depressive symptoms [ 27 , 28 ]. Female caregivers presented a higher risk of moderate to severe depressive and anxiety symptoms and reported significantly higher levels of perceived stress, depression and anxiety than male caregivers [ 29 ].…”

Depression and anxiety are two of the most common mental diseases both in formal and nonformal caregivers. Physical activity during leisure time seems to have benefits on their practitioner’s mental health. This study aimed to analyze the associations between physical activity frequency (PAF) and depression and anxiety status, as well as antidepressant and anxiolytic use in Spanish nonformal caregivers. A cross-sectional study with data from the 2014 and 2020 European Health Interview Surveys in Spain (EHSS) including 4520 Spanish nonformal caregivers was carried out. The PAF was found to be related to depression and anxiety, as well as antidepressants and anxiolytics use (p < 0.001), with the highest proportions of these variables found in the inactive population (p < 0.05), while the active and very active populations showed the lowest proportions (p < 0.05). Weak but statistically significant correlations were found between all variables of interest (p < 0.001). Being female, older, and dedicating more hours per week to caregiving and caring for nonfamily members were found to have increased risks of depression, anxiety and antidepressants or anxiolytics use. Nonformal caregivers who were not physically active during their leisure time had higher mental disorders and psychotropic drug use proportions than the active and very active caregivers. Thus, increasing nonformal caregivers’ PAF could be a protective tool.

“…Accordingly, the scores of the inventory ranged from 24 to 120, with scores of 24 to 47 indicating mild caregiver burden, 48 to 71 indicating moderate caregiver burden, 72 to 95 indicating severe caregiver burden, and 96 to 120 indicating very severe caregiver burden (21). The validity and reliability of the Persian version of the inventory were already measured by Shafiezadeh et al Cronbach's alpha of the subscales was 93%, and the test-retest reliability coefficient of the intracluster correlation index was 96% at a two-week interval (22). The reliability of the inventory was 91% based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient in this study.…”

Background: Irrational health anxiety increases due to insufficient information about COVID-19 and misinterpretation of allergy symptoms in favor of COVID-19. The disease increases the caregiver burden in informal caregivers and, subsequently, causes physical and mental disorders for them and negatively affects the provision of care for patients. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between health anxiety and caregiver burden in informal caregivers of patients with COVID-19. Methods: In this cross-sectional and correlational study, the convenient sampling method was adopted to select 340 informal caregivers of patients with COVID-19 who were discharged during the last three weeks of hospitalization in Vasei Hospital of Sabzevar City, Iran, in 2021. To collect the required data, the online links of the demographic information questionnaire, Salkoviskis's short health anxiety inventory (SHAI), and Novak and Guest's Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI) were sent to the subjects through messengers. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22 as well as descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: According to the results, the mean caregiver burden score in informal caregivers of patients with COVID-19 was 69.72 ± 14.91, and the mean health anxiety score was 16.22 ± 8.24. Pearson's test results were indicative of a significant relationship between caregiver burden and health anxiety (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Since a significant relationship was found between health anxiety and caregiver burden in informal caregivers of patients with COVID-19 in this study, it was argued that the health of informal caregivers was an important health issue certainly deserving serious attention of the health service providers.

“…Our results of social isolation, low mood, and psychological challenges expressed by participants were parallel to the fndings regarding the efect on the psychosocial and personal life of caregivers. Correlation between the burden and the care quality, recipients' health, and early institutionalisation were demonstrated and both measures were descriptive for our themes in regards to time-dependence, developmental, physical, emotional, and social burden of caregivers [50,51].…”

Purpose. This study investigated the experiences and expectations of unpaid caregivers who were members of a nonprofit social support organisation. Design and Methods. Colaizzi’s phenomenological exploration was followed. Data were saturated after 15 in-depth individual interviews at a centre for people affected with dementia. Findings. The themes reported with the COREQ checklist were contributory to caregiver burden, the escalation of dementia symptoms, changes in family roles, psychological distress, social challenges, membership in a social network, and developing effective coping skills. Practice Implications. Access, availability, and continuity of psychosocial support programs are vital for the wellbeing of people affected with dementia.
