Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify the factors which contribute to the burnout of a family member providing care to a family member in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods : Data about participants’ characteristics, stress, burden, social support and burnout were collected from March 1 to September 15, 2016. Data were collected through interviews and a self-report questionnaire. One hundred and twenty-three participants who were the primary caregiver participated in the study.
Results : The reported mean stress score was 2.13±0.78 and of reported burden was 3.24±0.27. The mean score of social support was 3.17±0.59 and of burnout was 2.61±0.58. There were significant differences in education level, financial burden, assistant, and health status in burnout of the family caregivers. Burnout had significant correlations with stress (r=.76, p<.001), burden (r=.43, p<.001), and social support (r=-.62, p<.001). The influencing factors on burnout were stress (β=0.63, p<.001), burden (β=0.14, p=.010), and social support (β=-0.32, p<.001). These variables explained 71.8% of the total variance in burnout.
Conclusion : The results suggest that stress, burden, and social support should be considered in developing the nursing interventions to improve the burnout among family caregivers of the ICU patients.
