The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in the association between caregiver's activities and caregiving burden according to gender and family relationship of caregivers of older people with dementia. This study used data from the Caregivers of Alzheimer's Disease Research survey (n=476). The association between caregiving activities and care burden was analyzed by multiple regression. In this study, the caregivers were predominantly spouses, followed by daughters. The care burden, especially personal burden, and depression were significantly higher in women than men. The spouses (either male or female), compared with the sons and daughters, spent significantly more time providing care. Care time and depression of caregivers and physical disability of the patient were significantly correlated with care burden. Among the caregiving activities, using transportation, dressing, eating, looking after appearance, and supervising were significantly associated with care burden. The daughters and daughters-in-law presented more care burden with higher number of care days, and the female spouse who were younger tended to experience higher care burden. Daughters who provided longer time looking after appearance exhibited higher care burden. For female spouse, eating time was significantly associated with care burden. The association between caregiving activities and care burden of caregivers of people with dementia differed by gender and family relationship with the patient. This study was characterized by analyzing the effect of caregiving activities on caregiving burden by gender and family relationship of caregivers.

본 연구의 목적은 한국사회가 고령화되고 있는 시점에서 치매환자 가족부양자의 부양부담과 사회지원이 건강 및 삶의 질과 어떤 관계가 있는지를 탐색하고, 부양자의 건강 및 삶의 질에 대한 부양부담과 사회지원의 상호작용을 검증하는 것이다. 본 연구의 참여자는 서울, 경기, 충청 지역에 거주하는 치매환자 가족부양자 207명(여: 106)이었으며, 그들의 평균 연령은 51.62(SD=9.25)세였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 심리검사는 다차원부양자부담설문지, 전겸구의 신체증상척도, 한덕웅과 장은영의 건강지각척도, 자기진술 부정정서질문지, Cambell의 주관안녕척도, MOS의 사회지원질문지, 권중돈의 치매노인 부적응문제척도이다. 분석 결과, 치매환자 가족부양자의 부양부담은 신체증상이나 우울과는 정적으로 건강지각이나 주관안녕과는 부적으로 관계하고 있었다. 사회지원은 치매환자 부양부담이 건강지각, 우울 및 주관안녕에 미치는 영향을 중재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 치매환자 부양에 따른 부정적 효과에 대해 완충 작용을 할 수 있는 것을 의미한다. 부양부담이 가족부양자의 신체증상과 우울의 변량을 30~40% 가량이나 설명하고 있었기 때문에 결과를 부양자의 건강이나 삶의 질의 중재를 중심으로 논의하였다. 사회지원이 부양부담 수준에 따라 다르게 작용하는 것 외에도 치매증상이 더 심각할 경우 사회지원이 적은 것 등과 관련해서도 선행연구를 바탕으로 논의하였다.

This longitudinal study examines the burdens and related factors for stroke patient's primary family caregivers. Sixty-one patients treated for stroke at a general hospital in Chung-nam province and family member caregivers participated in this study from July 28, 1998 to August 1, 1999. Family caregivers' burdens were assessed by the burden scale originally developed by Zarit(1980) and Novak & Geust(1989) and modified by Oh's(1993) for use in Korea. The burden scale instrument consists of five subscales.: financial burden, social burden, physical burden, dependency burden, and emotional burden. Repeated ANOVA and Stepwise multiple regression were used in the data analyses. The results were as follows: The burden mean score was 3.23 in the hospital, 3.26 after hospital release, and 3.27 in the home environment. In the hospital, a patient's degree of cognition, and social support for family caregivers were significant factors affecting the sense of burden felt by family caregivers. After hospital release, the significant factors affecting the sense of burden were the degree to which stroke patients could participate in daily living activities, social support for family caregivers, and changing to a second caregiver. In the home environment, the most significant factor affecting the sense of burden was social support for family caregivers.

Purpose: This study of this study was to identify factors influencing the burden of main family caregivers who take care of elderly patients with brain and spinal diseases. Methods: This was conducted as descriptive research and data were collected from 255 main family caregivers who were taking care of elderly patients with brain and spinal diseases from 4 hospitals in Daegu and Gyeongbuk Province. Stepwise-multiple regression was used to identify the influencing factors of burden felt. Results: As the score of burden felt by the main family, economic, social, physical, interdependent and emotional burdens were high in order. Factors influencing burden felt by main family care givers taking care of elderly patients with brain and spinal diseases were changed relation with patient after hospitalization, daily life ability, marital status, education and family caregiver's personality (explanatory power of 24.6%). Family caregivers felt a heavier burden when their relation with the patient was changed negatively or when the patient's activity of daily living was low. Conclusion: Based on these results, we need to develop coping measures and interventional programs for reducing the burden felt by the main family caregivers of elderly patients with brain and spinal diseases.

일반적으로 노인수발경험은 가족수발자의 신체적 건강에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 보고되어 왔으나, 민족 집단 간 연구결과가 일치하지 않았으며, 한국인 가족수발자의 신체적 건강에 관한 연구는 거의 전무하였다. 본 연구는 한인 가족수발자의 노인수발 경험이 신체적 건강에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 사회문화적 스트레스 대처모델을 적용하여 경로모델을 제시하면서 문화적 가치의 영향을 고려하였다. 경로모델에서 문화적 가치는 수발부담과 스트레스 대처행동(사회적 지지)을 통해 수발자의 신체적 건강에 영향을 미칠 것이라 가정되었다. 자료 수집을 위해 미국 남가주(Southern California)에 거주하는 87명의 한인 가족수발자를 구조화된 설문지로 면접조사하였다. 신체적 건강 변수로서 주관적 건강, 혈압, 콜티졸을 고려하였으며, 사회적 지지는 가족, 친척, 이웃 등으로부터의 비공식적 사회적 지지와 공식적 계약에 의해 주어지는 사회적 지지(노인복지서비스 이용)의 영향을 고려하였다. 경로분석 결과, 문화적 가치가 한인 가족수발자의 신체적 건강에 미치는 영향이 확인되었는데, 문화적 가치에 대한 믿음이 강할수록 공식적 사회적 지지 이용 빈도가 높았으며, 이용 빈도가 높을수록 수발자의 수축기 혈압이 낮았다. 그러나 문화적 가치가 수발부담을 통해 신체적 건강에 미치는 영향은 확인되지 않았다. 본 연구는 한인 수발자의 신체적 건강에 관한 연구의 시발점으로서 정책적, 학문적 함의를 제시한다.

This study aimed to explore the moderating effect of social support resources on the life satisfaction and caregiving burden of family caregivers taking care of the elderly in long-term care services. The study participants were selected from among the family caregivers utilizing 30 home care centers in Seoul, Korea. Of the candidates who agreed to participate in the study, 250 caregivers who had supported the elderly at home for at least 6 months were selected. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS ver. 21.0. The study findings were as follows. First, the whole family caregivers' caregiving burden of family caregivers was found to be slightly higher than the median value. More specifically, the physical burden was the heaviest, followed by the family relationship burden, the social activity burden, the emotional burden, and the financial burden. Social support resources and life satisfaction were found to be a little bit higher than the median value. Second, the variables that statistically significantly increased life satisfaction, starting with the strongest effect, were a lower psycho emotional burden, greater informational support resources, a lower economical burden, greater emotional support, a younger caregiver age, a higher monthly income, and a shorter care period. Third, informational support resources were found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between the support burden and life satisfaction. The more the participants used the informational support resource subcategory of the social support resources, the narrower the life satisfaction decrease, even though the caregivers felt a support burden. Informational support resources appear to have a statistically significant buffering effect.

Method: Data were obtained by interviewing from 60 HSCTr and 50 of their primary caregivers' and were analyzed by SAS program. Result: The degree of quality of life in pre and post HSCTr was significantly lower in the group who had physical discomfort compared with those who had no physical discomfort. The mean score of quality of life in pre HSCTr was significantly lower compared with in post HSCTr. Objective burden of family was higher than subjective one. Conclusion: QOL in HSCTr showed lower in the group of who had medical history, physical discomfort, no hope for cure and more than 5 weeks of length of stay. On the basis of these results, it is necessary to develop nursing intervention and to apply nursing care for improving their quality of life.
