摘要
背景:由于对COVID-19信息的不充分以及对过敏症状的误解有利于COVID-19,非理性健康焦虑增加。这种疾病加重了非正规照料者的照料负担,随后导致他们身心失调,并对向病人提供照料产生负面影响。目的:本研究旨在探讨COVID-19患者非正式照顾者健康焦虑与照顾者负担的关系。方法:采用横断面和相关性研究方法,选取2021年在伊朗萨布泽瓦尔市Vasei医院住院最后三周出院的COVID-19患者的340名非正式护理人员。统计信息问卷、Salkoviskis短健康焦虑量表(SHAI)和Novak and Guest照顾者负担量表(CBI)的在线链接通过信使发送给被试,以收集所需数据。数据分析采用SPSS 22以及描述性统计和分析性统计。结果:根据结果,COVID-19患者非正式照顾者的照顾者负担平均得分为69.72±14.91,健康焦虑平均得分为16.22±8.24。Pearson检验结果表明照顾者负担与健康焦虑之间存在显著关系(P < 0.001)。结论:本研究发现COVID-19患者非正式照护者的健康焦虑与照护者负担之间存在显著关系,认为非正式照护者的健康是一个重要的健康问题,值得卫生服务提供者重视。
The Relationship Between Health Anxiety and Caregiver Burden in Informal Caregivers of Patients with COVID-19
Background: Irrational health anxiety increases due to insufficient information about COVID-19 and misinterpretation of allergy symptoms in favor of COVID-19. The disease increases the caregiver burden in informal caregivers and, subsequently, causes physical and mental disorders for them and negatively affects the provision of care for patients. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between health anxiety and caregiver burden in informal caregivers of patients with COVID-19. Methods: In this cross-sectional and correlational study, the convenient sampling method was adopted to select 340 informal caregivers of patients with COVID-19 who were discharged during the last three weeks of hospitalization in Vasei Hospital of Sabzevar City, Iran, in 2021. To collect the required data, the online links of the demographic information questionnaire, Salkoviskis's short health anxiety inventory (SHAI), and Novak and Guest's Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI) were sent to the subjects through messengers. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22 as well as descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: According to the results, the mean caregiver burden score in informal caregivers of patients with COVID-19 was 69.72 ± 14.91, and the mean health anxiety score was 16.22 ± 8.24. Pearson's test results were indicative of a significant relationship between caregiver burden and health anxiety (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Since a significant relationship was found between health anxiety and caregiver burden in informal caregivers of patients with COVID-19 in this study, it was argued that the health of informal caregivers was an important health issue certainly deserving serious attention of the health service providers.
