“…In the same context, our study reported negative significant correlation between Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and duration since last admission. Which agrees with the Egyptian study conducted by Saleh et al (2013) which found strong positive correlation between burden in caregivers and frequency of patient's hospitalization as well as other studies (Gülseren et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2017;Yazici et al, 2016). It might be when patients are hospitalized, their caregivers became under great economic and emotional burden, as well as being troubled by the stigma of mental illness, while after discharge caregivers need more time to regain their full capacity of care.…”

Background: The role of caregivers of schizophrenia patients in management and prognosis is crucial, caregivers are considered cornerstones in getting better outcome and quality of life. Aim: To assess the burden of care and burn out syndrome in the caregivers of schizophrenia patients and its sociodemographic and clinical correlates. Methods: Recruiting all schizophrenia patients and their caregivers who sought help at El Mamoura hospital, Alexandria, Egypt, for assessment of burn out syndrome and burden of care and its sociodemographic and clinical correlates over full 6 months period. Results: The study included 120 schizophrenia patient and their 120 caregivers, Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview score was 25.758 ± 7.382, which indicates high burden level. Regarding the Maslach Burnout Inventory results, the mean score of Emotional Exhaustion was 50% of the caregivers have high Emotional Exhaustion scores, 35% have moderate scores; followed by 15% with low scores. The mean score of Depersonalization 46.67% of the caregivers have high (DP) scores, 30.83% have moderate scores; while 22.50% low scores. The mean score of Personal Accomplishment was 62.50% of the caregivers have low scores; 36.67% have moderate scores, while only 0.83% have high scores. Most important correlates were, male patient, positive symptoms, continuous course of illness, noncompliance, living in rural areas, and low family income. Conclusions: Levels of Burn out syndrome and burden of care is high in caregivers of schizophrenia patients, caring for caregivers is very important for providing better mental health services, more research is still needed in this field.

“…The family caregiver burden in primary care clinics is linked to psychological, socioeconomic, and physical consequences (11,12). However, the quality of life of family caregivers of patients on haemodialysis tends to be neglected, although they are distressed emotionally, financially and psychologically (13).…”

In Jordan, the number of people with end-stage renal disease who receive dialysis in 2016 increased to 5130 (1). Most of these people (5048, 98%) received haemodialysis and 2% received peritoneal dialysis (1). However, the number of sessions a week varied between patients: 2% received treatment four times a week, 71% received treatment three times a week, 26% twice a week and 1% once a week, with the average duration of the treatment session being about four hours (1). Therefore, family members, including spouses and children, or friends, usually provide care for people on dialysis, which can be a challenge (2). Factors that can affect the burden on caregivers include patient characteristics and caregiver-related factors (3).Data on family caregivers for people with chronic kidney disease are not yet available in Jordan (1). However, the prevalence of haemodialysis is increasing and family members often have to take over the responsibility of care for the person receiving dialysis. According to Jordanian culture and traditions, family members have a commitment to caring for the sick (4).Previous studies indicate that family caregivers can suffer from depression as a result of caregiving. A study in Turkey found that the burden on caregivers has a direct effect on the quality of the caregiving delivered (5). The study further reported that emotional and psychological distress were common in caregiver spouses in relation to their cultural and traditional values. Other studies in Turkey reported that caregivers perceived that the burden of caring for people on haemodialysis was high (6,7). A more recent study also found that most patients with kidney disease and their family caregivers were depressed (8). Depression in people on dialysis was associated with their socioeconomic and marital status, while the socioeconomic status of caregivers was associated with caregivers' depression (8).Another study reported that the burden of caregiving was associated with the perceived difficulty of the tasks the caregiver was required to do and this burden strongly predicted caregiver depression (9). However, a study in Saudi Arabia found that caring for people receiving haemodialysis was a subjective burden that contributed to depression, social isolation, financial constraints and declining physical health (10). Furthermore, the demands associated with the provision of care for people on dialysis may result in caregivers making ineffective decisions that could adversely affect the way the caregiver manages the personal health needs of the person on dialysis (5).
