Factors Associated With Caregiver Burden in Family Caregivers of Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Florence Nightingale journal of nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to assess caregiver burden and identify factors associated with caregiver burden among family caregivers of older adults. Method: This cross-sectional study included 140 older adults and their family caregivers. The study was conducted between February and November 2020 at a hospital in İstanbul. Data were collected using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), and Katz Activities of Daily Living Scale (Katz ADL). Results: The mean age of the caregivers was 49.20 ± 10.75 years, and 72.9% were female. The mean ZBI score was 30.65 ± 9.31. Katz Activities of Daily Living Scale (β = -.579, p < .001), older adults' age (β = -.462, p < .001), caregiver's gender (β = .250, p < .001), MSPSS (β = -.195, p < .01), whether the caregiver had regular health check-ups (β = -.156, p < .05), and GHQ-12 (β = .147, p < .05) were found to be significant predictors of caregiver burden respectively. These variables explain 56.3% of the total variance for the caregiver burden (R2 = .563, p < .001). Conclusion: Being a female caregiver and experiencing poor mental health were associated with a higher caregiver burden. Regular health check-ups received by caregivers and good social support were associated with a lower caregiver burden. Older age and higher dependency of older adults were associated with a lower caregiver burden. Based on these findings, there is a need for interventions and social policies aimed at reducing caregiver burden among family caregivers of older adults.
