Objective : The role of family caregivers is a very important factor in the patient's recovery. In this study, based on these previous studies, we confirmed the correlation between the general characteristics of family caregivers of stroke patients and psychological factors. Through this, we would like to suggest a method of supporting the caregiving behavior of family caregivers.
Methods : This study conducted a paper questionnaire and an online survey targeting 112 family caregivers who are currently caring for their family members. The research period was conducted for 4 weeks from September 30 to October 30, 2023. Descriptive statistics were obtained for the data collected through the questionnaire using spss 23.0 for Windows, and multiple regression analysis was performed to see the correlation between the general characteristics of family caregivers and psychological factors.
Results : First, in the caregiver response scale according to general characteristics, there was a relationship between gender, disease period, and age of the family caregiver. Second, the burden of care according to general characteristics was related to gender, disease period, age of family caregiver, place of care, and personal insurance. Third, in terms of stress coping strategies according to general characteristics, there was a relationship between the age of the family caregiver, location of care, and employment of personal care. Fourth, gender, onset period, and age of family caregiver were related to depression according to general characteristics.
Conclusion : In this study, we sought to identify independent variables that can be influenced by environmental changes in family caregivers. Support methods that enable changes in the environment, such as location of care, personal insurance, and employment of personal caregivers, were presented to those who provide family caregivers.
