| ObjectiveThrough examining the nursing burdens of permanent intestinal stoma patients’ caretakers, and their living quality at different stages, after patients being discharged from hospital, this paper discusses factors that affects their living quality at all stages, and the relationship between their living quality and nursing burden, in order for nursing staff to adjust the intervention program accordingly in time, take proper nursing measures, and improve the living quality of patients’caretakers.MethodsFrom December2010to November2011,60caretakers of permanent intestinal stoma have been interviewed and consulted by a TianJing3A hospital’s clinic, and Zarit nursing burden chart, Caregiver Quality of Life (QOL) form are provided to all the main caretakers to fill out, in a month and three month after patients’being discharged from the hospital. Also, the SPSS16.0software packet is used for statistic analysis. Caretakers’basic condition, nursing burden, life quality, and patients’basic information are being statistically described by using frequency, percentage, the mean, and standard deviation. Matched t-test is used to compare Caretakers’life quality at different stage. Using the one-way ANOVA, caretakers’life quality is being analyzed. And two groups of comparison are using two individual t-test, multiple groups of comparison are using one-way ANOVA; life quality’s multiple factors analysis is done with multiple linear regression.ResultsWith time passes, permanent intestinal stoma patients return to society, and their caretakers’life quality becomes better, and the nursing burden is reduced. Life quality chart’s multiple linear regression analysis shows that, a month after be discharged from the hospital, the meaningful and statistical factors are caretaker’s age, education, income, burden, and patients’age and education; and three month after be discharged, the statistical factors are caretakers’age, burden, education, income, and education, and their stoma complication. ConclusionThis research shows that caretakers’different stages of life quality’s factors are different. The factors affecting their life quality, one month after being discharged, are caretakers’age, education, income, occupation, and patients’age and education; and those factors, three month after being discharged, are added with one more, which is patients’stoma complication. In future’s clinical nursing and community nursing work, either stoma therapists or command nursing staffs should take effective measures, according to caretakers’different situations, and proceed with systematic health education intervention, to improve caretakers’living quality, for the purpose of preventing sickness, and obtaining health, and improving caretakers’ability of taking care patients, in order to improve patients’life quality. |
