“…Mothers act as the main caregivers, and we observed that some fathers avoided caregiving at the beginning but became involved later on. In a study, it is found that Turkish female caregivers have higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization rather than the male caregivers (Demirbas & Ozel Kizil, 2017). This case also shows the impact of gender on caregiving.…”

“…These findings were corroborated by other studies. [18][19][20] As can be seen in tables 2 and 5, caregivers of patients with schizophrenia with higher burden of care are likely to have depression, anxiety and poor quality of life. Also burden of care in caregivers can be predicted by anxiety and environmental quality of life.…”

BackgroundCaregivers play a pivotal role in providing care for mentally ill patients. Increase in caregiver burden can make them vulnerable to mental illness themselves.AimsWe assessed the severity of burden of care and its association with depression, anxiety and quality of life among caregivers of patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and schizophrenia.MethodsThis was an observational, cross-sectional, single-centred study of 50 consecutive caregivers of patients with AUD and schizophrenia. Participants were recruited from the psychiatry outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital between January and June 2017. The caregivers were further assessed by demographic details, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale for assessment of depression and anxiety, Zarit Burden Interview for assessment of caregiver burden and WHO Quality Of Life-BREF for assessment of quality of life. Statistical data were analysed using GraphPad InStat V.3.06 (California). Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to identify the predictors of caregiver burden.ResultsBurden of care experienced by caregivers of patients with AUD is as high as that of caregivers of patients with schizophrenia (U=1142.5, p=0.46). Caregivers experiencing high burden of care are likely to have symptoms of anxiety (U=22, p<0.001), depression (U=32, p<0.001) and poor quality of life (U=84.5, p<0.001). Female caregivers are likely to experience higher burden of care (U=819.5, p=0.006). For caregivers of patients with schizophrenia, anxiety, environmental health, socioeconomic status and patients’ occupation can predict burden of care, while for caregivers of patients with AUD, depression and environmental health can predict burden of care.ConclusionOur study suggests that caregivers of patients with AUD experience burden of care as high as that of caregivers of patients with schizophrenia. Caregivers with high burden of care are more likely to have depression, anxiety and poor quality of life.Trial registration numberCTRI/2017/03/008224.

“…Problems faced by caregivers: The problems faced by the caregivers whether they belong to the same family or paid care providers are often neglected. They can be psychological issues (9), financial (10), physical exhaustion and sickness (11), lack of time for personal care and health (12) and are summarized in (Figure 1). ( 13) Caregiver burden is defined as "a multidimensional response to physical, psychological, emotional, social and financial stressors associated with the care giving experience"( 14) It was found that around 70% of working caregivers had work related difficulties due to two jobs.…”

Demographic and epidemiologic transition coupled with increasing life expectancy has resulted in high old age dependency ratios and rising burden of comorbidities; especially non communicable diseases. This demands large pool of caregivers to support the dependents; physically, psychologically and financially. But the problems faced by caregivers – stress, anxiety, monetary, physical exhaustion and sickness, lack of time for personal care and health resulting in caregiver burden – is often neglected. This article summarizes the importance and/or role of caregivers, theirs problems and recommendations to identify, manage and prevent caregiver burden. The involvement of various stakeholders namely medical and para-medical colleges through training and medical education, hospitals, physicians, psychiatrists and/or psychologists, research organizations, governments and their policies is the need of the hour.
