| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of physical function, subjective burden and time of care between main caregivers with dysphagic family members and main caregivers without dysphagia members. Thirty-three pairs of patients were randomized from a total of 178 patients with a Japanese care insurance rank of 2 or more, living in homes visited by nurses in Shiga Prefecture by one-to-one matching, i.e. according to gender, age and care rank. One group was for patients with dysphagia (experimental group) and the other was for patients without dysphagia (control group). The main caregivers and patients of both groups were interviewed. Outcome variables were questions about subjective burden and time of care for the main caregivers, and for care receivers, activity of daily living (ADL), pulse circulation and blood oxygen ( SpO2), and experience of suffocation or not. Dysphagia patients in the experimental group had a significantly lower score for SpO2 compared with the controls. They also had significantly more experience with suffocation. Multiple regressions for time of care had a positive correlation between main caregivers in both the experimental and control groups. Therefore, it was suggested that main caregivers with dysphagia had the longest time of care. |
