“…Therefore, bedridden patients need a caregiver (Anonymous, 2012). Caregivers who follow up the bedridden patients can have some physical, psychological, social and financial problems (Kılıç Akça and Taşçı, 2005;Akyar and Akdemir, 2009;Kapucu et al, 2009;Tuna and Olgun, 2010;Atagün et al, 2011;Dökmen, 2012;Bedük and Karaaslan Eşer, 2014). The psychological health of the caregivers is affected due to the limitation of their social life (Kılıç Akça and Taşçı, 2005).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the levels of loneliness and social support perceived by caregivers of bedridden patients. The study population of this descriptive study consisted of 120 caregivers of bedridden patients registered in the home care unit of Ministry of Health-Ordu University, Training and Research Hospital as of May 31, 2013. The whole study population was studied without performing any sampling in the study. The study was completed with 106 caregivers who agreed to participate in the research and who have patients alive during the study period. Data were collected through home visits and face-to-face interview method between June 1 and August 31, 2013. "Patient and Caregiver Introductory Information Form", "Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support" and "UCLA Loneliness Scale" were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using the percentage distribution, arithmetic mean, MannWhitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test and Spearman correlation coefficient.A statistically significant difference was found between mean social support scores and caregivers' age, family type, degree of relatedness and ability to obtain support (p<0.05). A statistically significant difference was found also between mean loneliness scores and caregivers' family type, educational status and duration of care (p<0.05). A statistically significant negative relationship was found between mean perceived social support scores and loneliness scores of the caregivers (p<0.01). The levels of loneliness were decreased as the social support perceived by caregivers increased.

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyse the correlation between state and trait anxiety, depression and personality traits in caregivers of patients diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder. Method:The study sample consists of care-givers of 34 patients diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder according to the DSM IV-TR criteria, and 37 healthy voluntary subjects demographically matched. The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAIX I-II) scales have been applied to the subjects. Results:In this study, it has been found that STAIX-I and STAIX-II anxiety scores are higher in caregivers. The comparison between the groups has revealed that persistence (P) scores are higher in caregivers (P<0.001). A statistically significant correlation has been found between the STAIX -I score and harm avoidance (HA) score (r=0.36, P=0.04); STAIX-II score and harm avoidance (HA) (r=0.57, P<0.001); self-transcendence (ST) (r=0.41, P=0.01) and self-directedness (SD) scores (r=-0.60, P<0.001); HDRS score and harm avoidance (HA) (r=0.47, P=0.01) of TCI. Conclusion:Our results suggest that considering their personality traits, caregivers of patients with bipolar affective disorder should be assessed by clinicians more carefully and comprehensively in respect of anxiety.
