Male Caregivers of Persons with End Stage Renal Disease: A Qualitative Study
2017
: This study explored experiences associated with burden, depressive symptoms, and perceived health in six male caregivers of persons with end stage renal disease (ESRD) using qualitative interviews. Analysis employed open coding and analysis to generate codes and categories. Eighty-three percent of the participants reported significant subjective and objective burden. Linkages occurred between sociodemographic characteristics, care recipient attributes, and caregiver-care recipient relationship, and caregivers' experience of burden and depressive symptoms. Findings suggest the need for intervention trials targeting new coping strategies to help improve the well-being of this population.
