Öz:

Introduction: Caregiving of the palliative patient is a stressful and challenging condition, affecting the caregiver’s physical, emotional,psychological, and social well-being. This study aimed to determine depression, anxiety, and stress levels of the caregivers of palliative carepatients.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with caregivers (n=234) in a palliative care unit of a hospital in Balıkesir and Edirne betweenApril 2018 and January 2019. The data were collected by a socio-demographic questionnaire and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS).Results: Severe and extremely severe depression was detected in 20.1% of the caregivers of palliative patients. Anxiety and stress were found in32% and 12.4% of the respondents, respectively. The DASS score was higher in participants who had a chronic disease or were living with thepatients.Conclusions: Providing psychosocial support to caregivers of palliative patients may improve the quality of life of both the patients and thecaregivers. Necessary interventions are recommended not only to the patients but also to the caregivers.

Palyatif bakım hastasına bakım verenlerde depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeyi: tanımlayıcı-kesitsel tipte bir çalışma

Öz:

Giriş: Palyatif hastasına bakım vermek stresli ve zorlayıcı bir durum olup bakım verenin fiziksel, duygusal, psikolojik ve sosyal refahını etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı palyatif bakım hastasına bakım verenlerin depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeylerinin ve bunları etkileyen faktörlerin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma Balıkesir ve Edirne ilinde yer alan birer hastanenin palyatif bakım ünitesinde yatan hastaların bakım verenleri (n=234) ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışma Nisan 2018 ve Ocak 2019 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Veriler sosyo-demografik veri toplama formu ve Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği (DASÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmada da palyatif hastasına bakım verenlerin %20,1’inde ileri ve çok ileri düzeyde depresyon saptanmıştır. Bu değer anksiyete için %32, stres için %12,4 düzeyindedir. Kronik hastalığı olan ve hasta ile aynı yerde ikamet edenlerde DASÖ puanı daha yüksek düzeyde bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Palyatif hastasına bakım verenlere psikososyal destek sağlanması hem hasta hem de bakım verenin yaşam kalitesini arttırabilir. Sadece hastaya değil bakım verene de gerekli müdahalelerin yapılması önerilmektedir.
