Abstract
Descriptive research aimed to examine the burden of caregivers of Parkinson's elderly and predictive factors caregiver burden of older people with Parkinson’s Disease in Out Patient Department. The purposive sampling was performed. A total 147 Elderly Parkinson's caregivers were recruited at the outpatient department. The data was collected by a questionnaire consisting of two parts: the general questionnaire for Parkinson's elders and caregivers for Parkinson's elders and the burden of care for chronic patients’ questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using the descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.
The results showed that caregivers of Parkinson's elders perceived the overall care burden at a low level with a mean score of 27.30. The burden of caregiver of Parkinson's revealed that the overall, the average score was 27.30, divided into levels, found that the most caregivers of Parkinson's elderly felt the burden of care at a low level, 39.45 percent, followed by 34.69 percent, 24.44 percent felt burden of care at moderate level and 1.42 percent felt burden of care at a high level, respectively. When exploring the predictive factors, it was found that occupation and level of illness of the patients and caregiver occupation were able to jointly predict the burden of caregivers of Parkinson's elderly at 42.6% with a statistical significance at .001 (R2 = .426). Parkinson's age was highest (Beta = .304, p < .000), followed by patient's occupation (Beta = .285, p < .000) and caregiver's occupation (Beta = .267, p < .011). This study could be used as a baseline for planning and developing a model to reduce the burden of care and promoting the ability the caregivers of elderly people with Parkinson's disease.
