Abstract
Objective: Caregiving of bedridden-elders may cause an effect called caregiver burden. According to literature review, there has been no research about burden of caregiver on oral hygine care of bedridden-elders. This cross-sectional study was firstly conducted in Thailand that aimed to find factors that related to burden of caregiver on oral hygine care of bedridden-elders. Pair of 44 bedridden-elders and their caregivers living in Phayakhaphum phisai district, Mahasarakham province were included.
Materials and Methods: Data were collected from questionnaires consisting of sociodemographic data, oral hygiene caring for bedridden-elders, oral caregiver burden, Zarit burden interview and oral health status examination of elders.
Results: The result revealed that bedridden-elders were men and women equally, their average age was 77.1 years (±10.3). Their average of dental caries was 3, tooth mobility was 0.44, functional teeth was 11.44 and OHI-s was 1.40. Furthermore, most of them were not found oral lesions. Most of caregivers were female (84.1%) and their average age was 54.3 years (±12.9).
Conclusion: It was found that oral hygiene caregiving for bedridden-elder was significantly related with factors including an income (p=0.02), oral hygiene care (p=0.01) and general caregiver burden (p<0.001). Our findings have implications for oral health planners and prevention of caregiver burden.
