Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the current situation of the abuse tendency of the caregivers with dementia in nursing home institutions, and analyze its correlation with the nursing ability and social support of the caregivers.

Methods

A total of 316 cases of dementia caregivers from 11 nursing homes in Zhejiang Province were investigated by convenience sampling method, including the general data questionnaire, the caregiver abuse assessment scale, the nursing ability questionnaire of dementia caregivers and the social support assessment scale. Correlations between abuse tendency of the caregivers and their nursing ability and social support were analyzed using Spearman rank correlation analysis. Factors influencing abuse tendency of the caregivers were analyzed using binary logistic regression.

Results

A total of 316 questionnaires were sent out, and 298 were recovered, with the effective recovery rate of 94.30%. The incidence of abuse tendency among dementia caregivers was 41.9%, and correlation analysis showed that the score of the caregiver's abuse tendency was negatively correlated with the total score of nursing ability, skill dimension, interpersonal dimension, total score of social support and objective support dimension (r=-0.159, -0.135, -0.155, -0.115, -0.127; P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that, taking care of two old man at the same time, the old people who take care of themselves partly or can't take care of themselves, have mental behavior symptoms and make the caregiver feel severe pain (OR=3.213, 10.621, 15.221, 4.523, 7.002; P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) are the risk factors of abuse tendency; Relationships are a protective factor for abuse tendency (OR=0.643, P < 0.01).

Conclusion

The incidence of abuse tendency of dementia caregivers in old-age care institutions is still high, which is related to the nursing ability and social support of caregivers. The incidence of abuse tendency can be reduced by reducing the burden of caregivers, improving the professional nursing ability of dementia, enhancing the interpersonal relationship of caregivers and improving the social support.
