Özet:

 Objective: A great deal of social support is often provided by the caregiver of the patient. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the burden, fatigue and depression of the primary caregiver of patients with pulmonary transplantation candidates. Patients and Method: The primary caregivers of patients who were admitted to our hospitals pulmonary transplant outpatient clinic with end-stage pulmonary disease and no definite contraindications for transplantation, were included in the study. Zarit Burden Scale, Beck Depression Inventory and Short-Form SF-36  Vitality questionnaires were applied to participants. Results: Thirty-nine patients and their caregivers were evaluated. Caregivers experienced low levels of depression. Mean score for Beck Depression Inventory was 12.710.1. Caregivers generally experienced medium levels of burden. Mean score for Zarit Burden Scale was 26.914.2. Majority of caregivers experienced clinically significant fatigue. Mean score for SF-36  Vitality was 6116.7. Zarit Burden Scale scores and Beck Depression Inventory scores showed a statistically significant positive correlation r:0.962 p0.01. Conclusion: Increased burden of caregivers of lung transplant candidates was associated with depression and fatigue. The presence of depressive symptoms is noteworthy even in the mild to moderate levels of burden. Supporting caregivers, has a great importance in terms of patient care and quality.
