Abstract

Objectives Dementia is a common disease in the Elderly and imposes a heavy Care burden on family members. Many factors can be associated with Care burden. One of these factors can be the caregivers’,Spiritual Well-Being (SWB). This study aimed to examine the relationship between SWB and Care burden in caregivers of Dementia patients. Methods This correlational study was conducted on 60 caregivers (75% female and 25% male with a mean age of 47 years) of patients with Dementia referred to Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital and Brain & Cognitive Clinics in Tehran, Iran in 2019. Samples were selected using purposive and convenience sampling methods. The caregivers were evaluated by using the Caregiver Burden Questionnaire and SWB Scale and a socio-demographic checklist. Data were analyzed by using Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis in SPSS software at the significance level of P<0. 05. Results About 16. 7% of caregivers had little Care burden, 35% had moderate to severe burden, 25% moderate burden and 23. 3% severe burden. Moreover, 1. 7% had poor SWB, 66. 7% moderate SWB and 31. 7% high SWB. The Care burden had a negative and non-significant relationship with religious dimension of SWB (r=-0. 089, P=0. 505), and a negative and significant relationship with existential dimension of SWB (r=-0. 283, P=0. 032). Linear regression model revealed that existential dimension had a relationship with Care burden (β, =-0. 298, P=0. 023) and explained 9% of variation in Care burden. Conclusion SWB plays an important role in improving the overall health of caregivers. in addition to being one of determinant of Care burden, it acts as a factor in enhancing other aspects of health. Overall, caregiving is a stressful job,being aware of positive topics such as Spirituality helps therapists provide strategies for caregivers to reduce their stress and Care burden.
