Purpose: The aim of the present study was to identify the relationship between educational needs and the caregiving burden of primary caregivers with stroke patient.
Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted in 2016 with 115 primary caregivers for stroke patients at a university hospital. The caregiving burden and educational needs were investigated using structured questionnaires via interviews. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, the t-test or ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics version 23.0.
Results: The scores of caregiving burden and educational needs of primary caregiver with stroke patient were 77.65±1.66 and 123.33±2.37, respectively. The caregiving burden was associated with health status in primary caregivers’ general characteristics. The caregiving burden and educational needs of primary caregivers have a significant correlation (r = .44, p <.001).
Conclusions: Educational needs of primary caregivers with stroke patient are associated with their caregiving burden. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a primary caregiver centered intervention program considering educational needs to improve their caregiving burden. Also, to promote quality of nursing, there is the need to increase the educating competency of nurse and nursing professionalism of clinical nurse using various educational training program.
