Purpose: This study was conducted to determine factors affecting the positive feelings and care burden of elderly residents’ primary caregivers in long-term care facilities.
Methods: The survey was conducted between November and December 2018. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data, and 148 individuals voluntarily participated. The collected data were examined through descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS WIN ver.24.0, t-test, one-way Anova Scheffe test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression.
Results: Factors that significantly affected caregivers’ positive feelings included caregivers’ education level(β=-.32, p<.001), social support(β=.31, p<.001), care burden(β=-.29, p=.001), and total support fee(not more than 1.5million won)(β=-.18, p=.012). The explanation power was as high as 40.0%(Adj R²=.40). Factors that significantly affected caregivers’ burden included social support(β=-.25, p=.002), positive feelings(β=-.25, p=.002), elderly individual’s religion(β= -.17, p=.007), and elderly individual’s marriage status(β=.17, p=.021). The explanation power was as high as 45.0%(Adj R²=.45).
Conclusion: Our results suggest that it is necessary to increase social support for elderly residents’ primary caregivers in long-term care facilities. This can be helpful to decrease burden and enhance positive feelings in caregivers. We should also collect caregivers’ information as well to provide appropriate assistance.
