Caregiver BURDEN was measured using the Zarit BURDEN Interview (ZBI). Pairedt -test, Student’s t -tests, and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to test for signifi cant differences of the mean scores of BURDEN between the INTERVENTION and control groups over a 3-month period.Results: The INTERVENTION was successful in reducing caregiver BURDEN over time both at the end of the INTERVENTION period (P=0.000) and 3 months after the INTERVENTION (P=0.000).Conclusions: Nurses and other healthcare providers can use the fi ndings of this study in order to implement effective programs to reduce FAMILY CAREGIVERs’ challenges and to provide them more support.
