Özet:

 Objective: This study was carried out to determine the burden of care and the affecting factors in individuals who care for elderly patients. Material and Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between 17 October and 25 December 2021. The sample consisted of 334 caregivers of elderly patients over 64 years of age hospitalized in the internal medicine, palliative, cardiology, chest diseases, neurology, physical therapy, and rehabilitation clinics of Iğdır State Hospital. Participation was voluntary. Data were collected through faceto- face interviews using a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire and the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Normality was tested. The t-test was used for the analysis of two independent groups, while the one-way analysis of variance ANOVA was used for the analysis of more than two independent groups. Results: Participants had a mean age of 43.5514.80 years min: 18-max: 82. Patients had a mean age of 74.667.70 years min: 65 - max: 94. Participants had a total mean Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale score of 33.8314.71 min: 3-max: 76. Unemployed participants, those who were housewivesretiredstudents, daughters-in-law, and those caring for more than three years had significantly higher Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale scores p0.05. Participants caring for illiterate and literate, single, and patients with cardiovascular system diseases had a significantly higher Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale score p0.05. Conclusion: Participants had a mild to moderate care burden level. The results show that employment status, occupation, degree of affinity, and work experience affect the burden of care..

 Amaç: Bu çalışma yaşlı hastalara bakım veren bireylerdeki bakım yükünün ve etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı-kesitsel tasarımda yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri 17 Ekim-25 Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Çalışmaya bir Devlet Hastanesi dahiliye, palyatif, kardiyoloji, göğüs hastalıkları, nöroloji, fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon kliniklerinde yatan 65 yaş ve üzeri yaşlı hastalara bakım veren 334 birey katılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Yaşlı hastaya bakım veren bireye Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Zarit Bakım Verme Yükü Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılmıştır. Normal dağılım gösteren ikili gruplarda Bağımsız Gruplarda t testi, ikiden fazla gruplarda Tek Yönlü Anova testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmada hastalara bakım verenlerin yaş ortalamasının 43,5514,80 min:18-max:82 olduğu, bakım verilen yaşlı hastaların yaş ortalamasının ise 74,667,70 min: 65-max:94 olduğu bulunmuştur. Zarit Bakım Verme Yükü Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 33,8314,71 min:3-max:76 olarak bulunmuştur. Yaşlı hastaya bakım veren bireylerden çalışmayanlarda, ev hanımı-emekli-öğrenci olanlarda, hastaya yakınlık derecesi gelin olanlarda, 3-5 yıl ve 6 yıldan uzun süredir bakım verenlerde Zarit Bakım Verme Yükü Ölçeği puan ortalaması anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur p0,05. Bakım verilen yaşlı hastalardan bekâr olanlarda, eğitim durumu okur-yazar değil ile okur-yazar olanlarda, kardiyovasküler sistem hastalığı olanlarda Zarit Bakım Verme Yükü Ölçeği puanının ortalaması anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır p0,05. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, yaşlı hastaların bakım vericilerin bakım yükü hafif ile orta derecede bulunmuştur. Bakım verenlerinin yükünün çalışma durumundan, mesleklerinden, hastaya olan yakınlık derecesinden ve bakım verdiği süreden etkilendiği saptanmıştır.
