Effect of ınformatıon to caregıvers of Stroke patıents wıth Percutaneous endoscopıc Gastrostomy

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Stroke is one of the serious neurological disorders that occur due to decreased blood flow to a certain part of the brain due to vascular injuries. Stroke ranks second in Europe among the causes of death in the world, fourth in the USA and second in Turkey. More than half of these patients who continue to live become partially or completely dependent on others for self-care and daily living activities. During this process, self-care is of critical importance in patients performing daily living activities and preventing complications. Self-care and needs of these patients are usually met by family members or relatives. The continuous care and needs of patients who are dependent or semi-dependent in self-care and daily living activities cause caregivers to have difficulty and experience burnout syndrome. This situation negatively affects caregivers physiologically, psychologically, socially and economically. The impact of all these negative situations on the caregiver and the difficulty they experience while providing care are defined as caregiver burden in the literature. If this burden causes the caregiver individual to have difficulty in performing their own daily living activities, it causes the caregiver's self-care ability to decrease or even be unable to perform them. As a result of the literature review, it was noticed that studies evaluating the difficulties experienced by caregivers and their self-care were generally conducted with caregivers who care for individuals with chronic diseases such as oncology and Alzheimer's. For this reason, determining the caregiver burden and providing regular support to caregivers, and providing planned training and counseling can help to suggest solutions to all these problems. Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine the effect of information provided to caregivers of stroke patients on the care burden and self-care ability.çalışmayı kabul etmeyen hastaların yakınları çalışmaya dahil edilmedi.
