Analysis of the current situation and influencing factors of care burden on primary caregivers of children with nephrotic syndrome
Objective To explore the care burden of primary caregivers in children with nephrotic syn-drome and analyze related influencing factors.Methods 82 primary caregivers of children with nephrotic syn-drome admitted to the hospital from October 2020 to October 2022 were selected as the research subjects.Clinical data of all primary caregivers of children were recorded,and the differences in relevant data were in-vestigated and compared.The Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale(ZBI)was used to evaluate the current burden of care for the primary caregivers of children.Further,linear regression analysis was used to analyze the relevant influencing factors of primary caregiver care burden in children.Results The main caregiver score of 82 chil-dren with nephrotic syndrome was(29.50±3.25)points;There were statistically significant differences in the ZBI scores between different families in terms of monthly income,family functional status,shame of related diseases,and the main caregivers for children in different disease course(P<0.05).The results of linear re-gression analysis showed that monthly family income,family function,shame of comorbidities,and the dura-tion of the disease were the influencing factors for the care burden of the main caregivers of children with ne-phrotic syndrome(P<0.05).Conclusion The main caregivers of children with nephrotic syndrome generally have mild burden,and factors such as monthly family income,family function,associated disease shame,and the course of the child's disease are the influencing factors on the care burden of the main caregivers of chil-dren with nephrotic syndrome.
