    Care Burden and Quality of Life in Family Caregivers of Palliative Care Patients
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Cengiz, Zeliha; Turan, Mensure; Olmaz, Dilek; Erce, Cigdem
    This research was conducted for the purpose of examining the care burden and quality of life in family caregivers of palliative care patients. The research design was a descriptive correlational study conducted with the caregivers of 163 patients residing in palliative care units. Data were collected via a demographic survey, The Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL). The results showed that there was a negative correlation between ZBI and WHOQOL scores. Further, there was a significant negative correlation between many subdimensions of the ZBI (general quality of life, general perception of health, being satisfied with daily life skills, home conditions, energy and self-satisfaction) and the WHOQOL. Quality of life thus appeared to be reduced in family members with a high level of care burden and that the quality of life of caregivers depends on the individual characteristics of the caregiver. Social workers, nurses and physicians should regularly assess the burden and quality of life of caregivers.

It was determined that the nurses received 8.9 +/- 1.1 out of 20 points before and 17.5 +/- 1.9 points after the education. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of nurses before and after training (p < 0.001).

    BACKGROUND/AIMS This descriptive study aims to determine the relationships between the pain beliefs and coping strategies of palliative care patients. MATERIAL and METHODS This study was conducted in the Malatya Training and Research Hospital Palliative Care Clinic from March 10, 2019 to June 10, 2019. The sample consisted of 138 inpatients. The data were collecled using a personal information form, the Pain Beliefs Questionnaire, the Pain Coping Questionnaire, and the Palliative Performance Scale. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18.0 (IBM SPSS Corp.; Armonk, NY, USA) software was used to analyze the data. The required ethical approvals were obtained. RESULTS The patients' mean age was 59.01 +/- 9.38. Of them, 65.1% were female, and 89.7% were married. Of the patients, 56.3% had compleled primary school, and 75.3% were unemployed. Of the patients, 70.5% believed that pain is conlrolled by God. Their mean organic beliefs score was 3.04 +/- 0.38, and their mean psychological beliefs score was 4.83 +/- 1.00. Their mean scores for self-management, helplessness, conscious cognitive attempts, and medical remedies were 19.07 +/- 5.18, 10.72 +/- 3.00, 13.85 +/- 4.05, and 11.54 +/- 3.08, respectively. Their organic beliefs scores had a negative relationship with self-management scores (P < .001, r = -392) and conscious cognitive attempts scores (P < .001, r = -.350), and they had a positive weak relationship with helplessness scores (P < .001, r = .380). CONCLUSION The pain beliefs of patients in palliative care affect their ability to cope with pain. The planning and implementation of nursing pain management interventions should consider the relationships between the pain beliefs and pain coping strategies of patients.
