Investigation on family caregiver preparation of cognitive impairment patients after leaving ICU and its influence factors / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate family caregiver preparation of cognitive impairment patients after leaving ICU and analyze the influencing factors.Methods:A total of 169 family caregivers of cognitive impairment patients after leaving ICU who met the inclusion criteria were selected as subjects. The General Information Questionnaire, Care Preparedness Scale and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile Ⅱwere used to investigate the family caregivers. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of patient caregiver preparation.Results:The score of family caregiver preparation for cognitive impairment patients after leaving ICU was 12.58±4.57, with the highest physiological demand preparation score (2.18±0.63) and the lowest nursing care preparation score (1.07±0.51). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the patient's gender, Mini-Mental State Examination score, caregiver gender, education level, experience of care and the presence or absence of a co-career were the influencing factors of family caregiver preparation, which explained 41.6% of the variation of family caregiver preparation.Conclusions:The family caregiver preparation of cognitive impairment patients after leaving ICU is at a low level. The caregiver preparation is affected by many factors. Improving the caregiver health promotion lifestyle will help improve caregiver preparation.
