Abstract

Objective: To investigate the relationship between caregiver burden and some characteristics of Parkinson's disease patients with hypertension. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study on 50 Parkinson's patients with hypertension and 50 caregivers for Parkinson's patients at the National Geriatric Hospital. The study subjects were interviewed according to a medical record, and the burden of care was assessed by the Zarit Burden Interview Scale (ZBI) including 6 domains. Results: The total ZBI score of caregivers for Parkinson's patients with grade II hypertension (29.4±15.9) was statistically significantly higher than that of caregivers for Parkinson's patients with grade I hypertension (18,9±10,0). The fields of physical, mental, social, and self-criticism had significantly higher scores in the group of caregivers with grade 2 hypertension than in the group with grade 1 hypertension. The average score in the mental and financial burden area was significantly higher in the group of caregivers for patients with hypertension duration ≥ 5 years (p<0.05). As the daily activity dependency index (Barthel index) decreased, the mean scores across all areas of care burden increased. A patient's psycho-behavioral symptoms affect all areas of the burden of care and are particularly strongly correlated with the caregiver's mental burden. Conclusion: The burden of caregivers of patients with Parkinson's disease with hypertension is related to many factors such as hypertension classification, duration of hypertension, dependence on daily activities, and psycho-behavioral symptoms of the patient. sick
