Abstract
Objectives: The study aimed to improve family caregivers' skills and evaluate the effect on their anxiety levels.
Method: In our study, family caregivers of patients unable to perform daily activities were provided with care training. Their anxiety levels were examined before and after the training.
Results: Care training increased the family caregivers' sense of self-efficacy but caused no significant difference in their anxiety levels. Factors such as gender, education level and employment status influenced anxiety levels. Higher education and income were associated with lower trait anxiety while employment status was linked to higher anxiety levels.
Conclusion: Care training increased the family caregivers' sense of self-efficacy while causing no difference in their anxiety levels. In order to reduce anxiety, other negative factors affecting the caregiver should be discovered and corrected.
期刊介绍：
Published quarterly in print and continuously online, BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care aims to connect many disciplines and specialties throughout the world by providing high quality, clinically relevant research, reviews, comment, information and news of international importance.
We hold an inclusive view of supportive and palliative care research and we are able to call on expertise to critique the whole range of methodologies within the subject, including those working in transitional research, clinical trials, epidemiology, behavioural sciences, ethics and health service research. Articles with relevance to clinical practice and clinical service development will be considered for publication.
In an international context, many different categories of clinician and healthcare workers do clinical work associated with palliative medicine, specialist or generalist palliative care, supportive care, psychosocial-oncology and end of life care. We wish to engage many specialties, not only those traditionally associated with supportive and palliative care. We hope to extend the readership to doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers and researchers in medical and surgical specialties, including but not limited to cardiology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, neurology, oncology, paediatrics, primary care, psychiatry, psychology, renal medicine, respiratory medicine.
