“…26 Home-based care is becoming increasingly critical in Japan; therefore, it is meaningful to determine how to reduce objective care burden among FCs. 27 Our results indicated that reduced objective total sleep time (as measured by the ActiGraph) is significantly associated with FCs' care burden severity. Additionally, care burden severity and a shorter total sleep time might represent more severe care burden among CRs.…”

Aim Several studies have reported a negative correlation between depressive symptoms and family caregivers' (FCs) subjective sleep status. However, there is a paucity of information on the association between objective/subjective sleep status, care burden, and related factors. Methods Participants were 23 pairs of care receivers (CRs; Mage = 82.7 ± 8.5 years; 69.6% women) receiving long‐term care at home and their FCs (Mage = 66.9 ± 11.0 years; 69.6% women). At baseline, demographic data, subjective sleep status (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; PSQI), WHO‐5 well‐being, depressive mood, and frequency of going outdoors were collected. FCs wore a small, wrist‐worn device with an accelerometer to assess objective sleep status for a consecutive 24‐h 2‐week period, and they answered the Zarit Burden Interview short version (ZBI) every night before sleep. After 3 months, CR status was collected and analysed retrospectively. Results The mean total sleep time over 2 weeks was 349.5 ± 69.6 min. The mean ZBI score over 2 weeks was 8.8 ± 6.8, which was significantly correlated with total sleep time (r = −0.42; P < 0.05), total time in bed (r = −0.44; P < 0.05), PSQI (r = 0.62; P < 0.01), frequency of going outdoors by CRs (r = −0.42; P < 0.05), and WHO‐5 well‐being among CRs (r = −0.50; P < 0.05). Multiple regression analyses revealed that total sleep time (β = −0.51; P < 0.05) was significantly associated with care burden (adjusted R2 = 0.45). At the 3‐month follow‐up, four CRs had been hospitalised or died, and their FCs displayed significantly severe care burden and slept less than at baseline. Conclusions Reduced objective total sleep time is significantly associated with the severity of care burden among FCs. Home‐based care is critical in Japan; therefore, it is meaningful to determine how to reduce care burden.

“…Previous studies of caregivers to lung cancer patients demonstrated that the comprehensive health enhancement support system can improve a caregiver's understanding, carers' appraisal, and problem-focused coping strategies [4,5]. Furthermore, the possibility of maintaining the health of carers using wearable devices has also been suggested [6], and such support using devices is considered useful for caregivers of persons with cancer.…”

“…This systematic review indicates, as it only includes one article, that research about caregiver burden using new technology for informal caregivers of people with dementia is lacking. However, recent studies have reported the usefulness of wearable devices for caregivers of people with dementia and other areas . Another study examined sleep using watch‐type actigraphs and biomarkers of objective measurements for Alzheimer's caregivers .…”
