“…The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to adverse economic, social, and health consequences in different countries (3). The results of the present study showed that physical care burden had the lowest score among other dimensions of care burden, which was inconsistent with the results of studies by Sanmar et al (40) and Sharma et al (41) suggesting that caregivers bore enormous psychological and physical burden. The inconsistency may have been due to the fact that very limited time is needed to care for patients with COVID-19, while a great deal of time and even years are required to care for dialysis patients.…”

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.

“…The findings of the present research demonstrated that among five domains of FCB, physical caregiver burden in comparison to other aspects scored the lowest level. This result was inconsistent with the studies of [30][31][32]. These studies revealed that caregivers are exposed to a considerable degree of physical and mental pressure when caring for a patient.…”

Background The caregivers of patients with covid-19 face constant responsibilities such as providing personal, health, and social care to family, which can be physically, and emotionally exhausting resulting in a considerable stress burden. Therefore, given the importance of the subject, this study aimed to investigate the burden of disease dimensions (time-dependent, developmental, physical, social and emotional) among family caregivers with covid-19 patients in Iran. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted one year after the onset of the Covid-19 outbreak in Iran. Family caregivers of Covid-19 patients discharged from the hospitals in Kerman city, Iran, were chosen by simple randomization (n = 1500). Data were collected utilizing a demographic characteristics inventory created by the researcher as well as the Novak and Guest Caregiver Burden Inventory. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviations, frequency, and percentages and analytical statistics such as Kolmogorov–Smirnov, T-test, ANOVA, and Multivariate Linear Regression were used for data analysis using the 20, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL Software at the level of P < 0.05. Results The results demonstrated that the mean score of family caregiver burden was 2.61±0.6 and the severity of this burden was in a moderate range. The finding showed a statistical difference was seen between the family caregiver burden mean score of participants in terms of gender, duration of treatment, age and employed status. The multivariable linear regression model showed demographic variables of caregivers included (female, married, employed, elderly, low income and poor education) had a beneficial influence on family caregiver burden. Conclusion The findings of this study can increase the awareness of health managers, about the level of burden of disease among family caregivers from the covid-19 patients and can help to provide economic, social and psychological support programs for improvement and reducing the burden of disease of caregivers during the covid-19 outbreaks.

“…In this study, most subjects were middle-aged with a mean age of more than 40 years. This study also shows that there is no significant relationship between the level of burden scores and the selected sociodemographic variables of the participants (Sharma et al, 2021). This study also shows a similarity with the study results that some sociodemographics do not have a significant relationship with caregiver burden.…”

“…A similar study used the ZBI score with a sample ) families have a medium to a heavy burden, Families are light to moderately burdened because the average burden score is 25±12 (range 0-88) (Sharma et al, 2021). Caregiver burden (as measured by ZBI) increased significantly over time (p < 0.01), with mean scores at baseline in the light burden range and increasing to moderate burden 12 months later.…”

Background: The end-stage renal disease affects almost every aspect of the patients' and caregivers' lives. Several studies have been conducted to explore the experiences of family caregivers in caring for hemodialysis patients. However, a survey of the burden of family caregivers has yet to be conducted in Indonesia, a country with strong family bonds among family members. Purpose: This study aimed to identify the burden among family caregivers of hemodialysis patients. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted in May 2021 on 60 family caregivers of hemodialysis patients. selected using a purposive sampling technique. Semi structured questionnaires were used to measure socio-demographic. The Caregiver Reaction Assessment-Indonesian Version (CRA-ID) was used to measure their burden. Data were analyzed using descriptive analyzes and bivariate analyzes. Results: Women represented 65% (n=39) of participants, married participants were 83.3% (n=50), and were 63.3% employed (n=38). Most of them have minimum family income (51.7%). The least common association of caregivers was the spouses of the patients (n=32, 53.3%). The analysis showed that the mean overall burden score with CRA-ID was 2.88±0.69 (ranging 1.00 to 5.00). The highest burden was the lack of family support dimension of 3.47±0.42. Caregiver burden among caregivers of patients on hemodialysis showed that the variables related to family burden were age, an education level, and family income (p-value<0,05). Conclusion: Caregivers of hemodialysis patients carry a significant burden. Interventions to provide appropriate social support to patients and increase caregivers' psychological conditions are critical.
