| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted to determine the burden of care and coping strategies experienced by caregivers of elderly inpatients in a palliative care unit and internal medicine services. This study is a descriptive and comparative study. The study sample consisted of 80 caregivers of the elderly hospitalized in the Palliative Care Unit and Internal Medicine Clinic in a city hospital between April and June 2017. The Personal Information Form, the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview Scale (ZCBI Scale), and Coping Strategies Inventory-Short Form (CSI Short Form) were used in this study. The total score obtained by the caregivers from the ZCBI Scale was 50.37 ± 10.93 in the palliative care unit and 32.72 ± 8.72 in the internal medicine clinic. A significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of the subscales “Planning” and “Searching Social Support-Instrumental” of the CSI Short Form and the total score of ZCBI Scale. Nurses should assess socio-demographic characteristics, financial difficulties, and family relationships that may intensify the burden on caregivers of elderly patients in the palliative care units and facilitate coping strategies. | en_US |
