Quality of Life of Primary Caregivers of Liver Cirrhosis Patients and Related Factors

TITLE: 肝硬化病人主要照顧者之生活品質及其相關因素. 背景: 肝硬化病人主要照顧者常面對病人疾病的合併症及反覆入院，可能出現負荷，進而影響生活品質。. 目的: 探討肝硬化病人主要照顧者生活品質及其相關因素。. 方法: 採相關性研究設計，問卷包括：負荷量表、因應行為量表、生活品質量表、照顧者基本屬性。以描述性及推論性統計（獨立樣本 t 檢定、單因子變異數分析、皮爾森積差相關分析以及逐步複迴歸分析）進行資料分析。. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study may help nurses better understand and work to reduce the burden of caregivers in order to enhance their quality of life. Nurses should assess caregiver burden, especially in cases where caregivers themselves are in a poor financial situation or have poor self-assessed health, in order to provide necessary support and assistance. 結論: 本研究有助於護理人員瞭解肝硬化病人主要照顧者生活品質狀況，尤其是當照顧者有較差的經濟狀況及健康狀況時，應評估其需求，以便能適時提供必要的支持與協助。.
