Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare stress and psychological status between a stroke and a fracture patient`s caregivers.
Methods: Data was collected from September to December 2018 and participants of this study were 60 stroke and 61 fracture patient`s caregivers. Stress was evaluated with the Global Assessment of Recent Stress scale - Korean Version and psychological status was measured with the Symptom check List-90-Revision.
Results: The stroke patient`s caregivers scored significantly higher than the fracture patient`s caregivers in stress relevant to interpersonal, change in relationship, sickness or injury, financial, and change/no change in routine (p<.05). The stroke patient`s caregivers scored significantly higher in somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism than the fracture patient`s caregivers (p<.05).
Conclusion: It was found that the severity of mental health in the stroke patient`s caregivers is necessary to develop a customized mental health improvement program for stroke patient`s caregivers.
