Abstract

Purpose

To determine the caregiving burden level and affecting factors of family members caring for patients with lung cancer (LC).

Methods

This study used a cross-sectional design and a convenience sampling method. The study was conducted between April 2023 and August 2023 with the LC patients (n = 448) and their caregivers (n = 448) who met the inclusion criteria and were followed up in seven clinics of a specialized hospital for pulmonary diseases in Turkey. Data were collected by using (1) a demographic questionnaire (for patient and caregiver), (2) the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), (3) the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and (4) the Caregiver Quality of Life Index-Cancer (CQoLC).

Results

The study included 448 caregivers, with a mean age of 45.09 ± 13.48 years, and 71.4% were female. The mean ZBI score of 31.45 ± 16.71 indicated mild to moderate burden. Pearson correlation analysis showed that caregivers’ depression levels increased and quality of life decreased significantly as the care burden increased. Multiple regression analysis indicated a significant relationship between the caregiver burden and the patient’s age (p < 0.05), caregiver’s chronic disease (p < 0.05), type of treatment given to the patient (p < 0.05), patient’s metastasis status (p < 0.05) and caregiver’s quality of life (p < 0.01).

Conclusion

The fact that most of the risk factors identified in this study are non-modifiable highlights the necessity of identifying caregiver burden early by nurses and initiating the appropriate support processes.
