Objective:The institutionalization of care for patients with dementia is becoming a trend. Understanding the burden on employed caregivers and exploring associated factors are of great importance in practice. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between basic attributes, caring ability, and caregiver burden in employed caregivers practicing in nursing homes. Methods:This cross-sectional study included 541 employed caregivers in 11 four-star nursing homes in Zhejiang Province from April to December 2022. Caregiver burden was assessed using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). Demographic characteristics of participants, characteristics of the older patients with dementia, caring characteristics, training in dementia care, and caring abilities were collected for analysis of influencing factors. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted to explore the factors influencing the burden on employed caregivers in nursing homes. Results:The ZBI score of employed caregivers in nursing homes was 40.42 ± 10.18, representing a moderate caregiver burden. Factors such as age (U = 27.82, P < 0.001), residence (U = 7.89, P < 0.001), educational level (H = 55.81, P < 0.001), self-care of older patients with dementia (H = 85.21, P < 0.001), daily care hours (H = 73.25, P < 0.001), number of older people with dementia cared for (H = 14.56, P = 0.012) and training in dementia care (U = -9.43, P < 0.001) were significantly associated with caregiver burden.Caring ability was negatively associated with caregiver burden (r = -0.22, P < 0.01). Furthermore, after controlling for demographic characteristics, the characteristics of older people with dementia, caring characteristics, training in dementia care, and caring ability explained 8.5%, 5.8%, and 4.8% of the caregiver burden, respectively. Conclusion:The burden of employed caregivers on patients with dementia in nursing homes can be attributed to various factors. We recommend tailored interventions, such as dementia care training and reviewing the number and duration of hours worked to reduce the burden experienced by caregivers.
Objective:To integrate the best evidence of non-drug intervention of urinary incontinence in elderly women and to formulate practical recommendations.Methods:In this systematic review study, using “elderly woman”,“urinary incontinence”,“bladder training”,“pelvic floor muscle training”,“enuresis”,“leakage of urine” as the key words, the 6S evidence resource pyramid model was used to search in British Medical Journal best practice, Uptodate, World Health Organization, Guidelines International Network, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Chinese Medical Association, Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, Cochrane Library, The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), New Zealand Guidelines Group, Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians, PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, etc. The evidence retrieved included evidence-based knowledge base resources, clinical practice guidelines, expert consensus, systematic review, etc. Data were retrieved from January 1, 2017 to May 1, 2022, and collated from May 2, 2022 to May 25, 2022. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of literature and extracted data using the AGREE Ⅱ and JBI evidence-based health care center assessment tools. The JBI evidence-based health care center′s evidence pre-rating system and evidence recommendation rating system were applied to rank the evidence; and under the guidance of the evidence structure of JBI, the strength of evidence recommendation was determined and the best evidence was extracted and summarized in combination with the study group discussion and expert opinion.Results:A total of 9 articles were retrieved, including 7 guidelines and 2 systematic reviews; and 6 guidelines were classified as Grade A and 1 as grade B; both 2 systematic reviews were rated as Grade A; 84% (27/32) of the items were evaluated as “Yes”. Evidence were summarized as 34 pieces of best evidence from 6 dimensions, including “overall recommendation, evaluation of type and degree of urinary incontinence, lifestyle change, behavioral therapy, prevention of precipitating factors, intervention in special population”; the flow chart of screening, evaluation, special symptoms, life style and behavior therapy was combed, and the practical suggestions were formed.Conclusions:The overall quality of the literature on non-drug intervention of urinary incontinence in elderly women is high, and the level of evidence is high. Early identification of urinary incontinence types and assessment of disease severity, lifestyle changes, avoidance of predisposing factors and behavioral therapy are the key to non-drug treatment of urinary incontinence in those patients.
