Özet:

 Purpose: To evaluate the care burden of the caregivers of dementia patients and the relationship between anxiety-depression risk and quality of life. Methods: This study was conducted with 152 primary caregivers of dementia patients by using Caregiver Burden InventoryCBI, Hospital Anxiety-Depression Scale HADS and Short Version of the Quality of Life Assessment Instrument From the World Health Organization WHOQOL-BREF. Results: Mean age of the caregivers was 49.49.0 years; of them, 79.6 were females, 54.6 were graduates of elementarysecondary school. Mean age of dementia patients was 79.88.0 years; of them, 55.2 were females, 46.1 had advanced stage dementia and 30.9 had pressure ulcers. High care burden was detected in 101 66.4 caregivers, anxiety in 37 24.3 and depression in 109 71.7. The scores of HAD-A and HAD-D were significantly high p0.007, p0.002 and WHOQOL-Bref score was significantly lower p0.001 in caregivers of the patients with pressure ulcers. Scores of CBI, HAD-A and HAD-D were found to significantly increase p0.005, p0.042 and p0.030, respectively and WHOQOL-Bref score was found to significantly decrease p0.009 as stage of dementia increased. HAD-A and HAD-D scores were detected to increase p0.000, p0.000 and WHOQOL-Bref score was detected to decrease p0.000 as CBI score increased. Conclusion: Dementia causes a high care burden for the caregivers. It is of vital importance to facilitate reaching professional support services for reducing care burden that increases with increasing stage, and establishing hospice care institutions for reducing the risk of mental disorders and for improving quality of life of the caregivers.
