Renal transplantationCandidatesPsychological and Emotional Status, and Caregiver Burden in Caregivers of Patients With Peritoneal Dialysis Compared With Caregivers of Patients With Renal Transplantation

Study Design
A cross-sectional, multidimensional instrument assessed the association of quality of sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]), depression and anxiety symptoms (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS]), and caregiver burden in a Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) between CAPD versus Tx patient caregivers.
Subjects
Adults who were self-identified as the patient's primary caregiver or spouse, who were ≥18 years old, who were literate, who were not previous living kidney donors, and who provided
Results
Among 113 caregivers who participated in this study, 53 (46.9%) were in the Tx and 60 (53.1%) in the CAPD group. Overall mean age was 40.7 ± 13.6 years. The proportions of age, gender, income level and education level were similar between the 2 groups (Table 1).
Caregivers of peritoneal dialysis patients showed significantly higher rates of anxiety and depression compared with the Tx group (P = .039 and P = .003; Table 2). Good sleep quality rates for caregivers of Tx and CAPD patients were
Discussion
Our results suggested that caregivers of CAPD patients were at higher risks for anxiety, depression, and poor sleep quality compared with those for Tx recipients. Caregiver burden was higher among the CAPD group.
In Turkey, caregivers for chronically ill patients are usually family members, which is generally a compulsory duty and may continue until the end of the subjects' life. In our study, caregivers of CAPD patients showed higher rates of anxiety and depression compared with the Tx group.

2018, International Journal of Nursing SciencesCitation Excerpt :In addition, the increase in life expectancy in patients with chronic diseases [26–28], science and technology advancements [29] and restrictions of kidney transplantation have increased the number of patients undergoing hemodialysis. Therefore, family caregivers are mainly involved in the provision of care to hemodialysis patients [30,31]. Iran is an Islamic country, which has a population of about 80 million, most of whom are Muslims, and in Muslim culture, respect for the patient is deemed very valuable.
