METHODS
The study included 69 primary informal caregivers of patients with Stage 4 cancer. Methods utilised included diagnostic semi-structured interviews, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Zarit Caregiver Burden Inventory and cognitive flexibility inventory.
RESULTS
BDI scores were found to be significantly higher in caregivers who cared for men compared to those who cared for women (20.44±2.06 vs. 13.29±1.81; t= 2.60; p= 0.01). BDI mean scores were statistically lower in caregivers who received help with caregiving compared to those who did not (t= 2.62; p= 0.01). Cognitive flexibility level, burden level and lack of social support were found to be predictors of caregiver depression.
CONCLUSION
The study showed that individuals with low cognitive flexibility levels are more likely to have depressive and anxiety symptoms. Based on our findings, we opine that evaluations of caregivers’ cognitive strategies and social support are needed to determine the risk of depression in caregivers of cancer patients.
