A Comparison of the Burdens and Coping Strategies of the Primary Caregivers of Elderly Patients in Scottish and Chinese communities: A Pilot Study
並列摘要
The overall aim of this study was to investigate the burdens and coping strategies of the primary caregivers of elderly patients in Scottish and Chinese communities in Edinburgh. The design of study was carried out by a cross-sectional survey. The total sample consisted of twenty-two participants that included 10 Scottish and 12 Chinese. Data were collected using questionnaires. These collected demographic data as well as a 15-item Caregiver Burden Scale and a 29-item Coping Scale. Three types of burden, namely general, which included physical and financial aspects, emotional, and isolation burden, and the frequency of use of each type of coping strategy. These were emotive, evasive, optimistic, supportant, and confrontive coping strategies. Findings indicated that Scottish caregivers had higher burden scores (especially isolation burden) than those in the Chinese group. Both groups preferred to use optimistic coping strategies more often and evasive coping was least used. Generally, Scottish caregivers had higher frequency of use each coping strategy than the Chinese did.
