“…32,33 It has been suggested that a problem-focused strategy is appropriate for managing problems. 4 In this regard, Abbasi et al showed that using problem-focused coping significantly reduced the perceived caregiver burden. Caregivers who used problem- focused strategies also had less time-dependent care burden and less physical care stress.…”

“…3 In addition, Ghane et al reported that the use of problem-focused coping reduced the care burden of hemodialysis patients' caregivers. 4 Such factors as sociocultural characteristics of caregivers and level of perceived care burden by caregivers are associated with the type of selected coping strategy. 3,9 These factors can account for the discrepancy among the results of different studies.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between care burden and coping strategies in caregivers of hemodialysis patients. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted from September to December 2018 in Kermanshah, Iran. A total of 130 caregivers of patients admitted to the hemodialysis wards of Imam Reza and Imam Khomeini hospitals of Kermanshah, Iran were selected via convenience sampling. Data-collection tools included a demographic information form, caregiver-burden inventory, and coping inventory for stressful situations. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical tests. Results: The mean age of the caregivers was 35.8±13.7 years, and 71 (54.6%) were patients' children. The mean caregiver-burden score was 58.5±20.5 out of 96. Mean scores of timedependent, evolutionary, physical, social, and emotion-dependent care burdens were 17.5 ±5. 3, 12.2±6.3, 9.1±4.7, 8.2±4.0, and 11.4±5.1, respectively. Mean scores of problemfocused, emotion-focused, and avoidance-oriented coping strategies were 46.0±80.8, 43.1 ±9.0, and 48.9±9.5, respectively. Among the strategies, only the avoidance-oriented one had a significant positive relationship with total care burden and all its subscales. Conclusion: Caregivers of hemodialysis patients experienced a relatively high care burden. However, they did not use appropriate coping strategies; therefore, they should be trained to select an effective coping strategy.

“…In particular, actions that may create a risk to caregivers safety increases subjective burden such as hostility or aggression, demolition of possessions and substance abuse [11]. It is subjective burden that describes the psychological reactions such as unhappiness, nervousness, the stress of coping with disturbing behaviours and the frustration caused by changing relationships [12,13]. Certainly, caring on its own comes with a whole lot of challenges and occasionally distress which affects caregiving and also negatively impacts the overall physical health of caregivers.…”

Providing informal care, particularly for a person needing assistance for daily activities as a result of chronic illness such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), is a demanding task which requires time, dedication and preservation. In spite of burdens that caregivers of CDV patients are faced with, there are dearth of studies that have explored the level of the burden of care among relatives of CVD in Nigeria. This study addresses this gap by raising the question: to what extent does care for CVD patients affect caregiver's psychological, behavioral and physiological daily lives. The study was a cross-sectional survey and it adopted the purposive sampling technique. Primary data were sourced from 200 caregivers/relatives from three tertiary hospital: Federal Teaching Hospital Ido-Ekiti, Federal Medical Centre Owo and Obafemi Awolowo Teaching Hospital Complex Ile-Ife. The outcome variable is caregiver's burden, and the key explanatory variables are self-esteem and optimism. The Zarit (ZBIS), Rosenburg Self Esteem and Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) standardised psychological scales were employed to measure caregiver's burden, self-esteem and optimism. Pearson r was applied using Stata version 13. Results showed that a significant proportion of the caregivers experienced moderate to severe levels of burden. Also, results showed that caregivers' burden was not significantly associated with Self-esteem (r200 = 0.04, p >.025) and optimism (r200 = 0.07, p >.025). It was imperative to provide professional help and supportive counselling to caregivers of CVD patients, in order to reduce their burden, strengthen the coping skill and thus improve their quality of life. Contribution/Originality: The paper's primary contribution is that it documents empirical findings that are useful for research, clinical practice and counselling; as such document provides insights on the experience of these informal caregivers are strategies for valuable intervention programmes to reduce the burden among relatives of cardiovascular disease patients. 1. INTRODUCTION Burden of care are the experiences of caregivers of people who cannot for one reason or the other care for themselves. These experiences are traumatic in nature and subsist inform of shame, resentment, irritation, culpability, loneliness, stress, unhappiness in marriage, anxiety, depression, a retarded social life, repeated loss of self-esteem and dissatisfaction with life.In essence, caring becomes a burden and weigh down on caregivers because it poses multidimensional exertion ranging from social, physical emotional, financial and other health problems

“…Although the caring role of caregivers can increase their sense of kindness and love and provide them with benefits such as greater intimacy in family relationships, meaning in life, respect for themselves and others, and self-satisfaction, studies show that caring responsibility puts a great amount of pressure on caregivers' physical and mental health (3,8). The day-to-day support that family members provide for their spouse, parents, and partner who is suffering from the disease has significant physical, psychological, and economic costs and consequences such as inability to solve problems, economic stresses, changes in the roles of the family, threats, changes in life expectancy and feelings of loneliness which include fear of being abandoned.…”

Background and aims: Caring for patients with multiple sclerosis causes family caregivers many problems and challenges. Self-management interventions can facilitate the caring process and increase the quality of patient care. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a self-management program on Self-concept of the family caregivers of multiple sclerosis patients. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2018 at the MS Treatment Center of Shahrekord. The samples were selected through convenience sampling method. First, participants were assigned to two groups of men and women by stratified random sampling, and then men and women were assigned randomly to intervention (n=35) and control (n=35) groups. For the intervention group, the selfmanagement program was implemented twice a week in 8 sessions. Data collection was performed using the Coopersmith self-concept Inventory in two groups before, immediately after, and three months after the intervention. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 16.0. Results: The mean scores of self-concept in the intervention and control groups before the intervention were 72.6±9.1 and 72±10.6, respectively. There was no significant difference between the mean score of self-concept between the intervention and control groups before the intervention (P>0.05). The mean scores of self-concept immediately after the intervention in the two groups were 86.4±9.2 and 73±10.6, and three months after the intervention, they were 103±7.4 and 73.9±10.5, respectively. A significant increase in the scores of self-concept in the intervention group (P<0.001) was observed. Moreover, the independent t test showed a significant difference in the two groups immediately after and three months after the intervention (P<0.001). Conclusion: Self-management program increased the self-concept of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients’ caregivers. Therefore, selfmanagement can play a critical role in improving the quality of life of family caregivers and coping with the physical and psychological stress related to their caring role.
