Purpose: The aim of this descriptive study was to identify factors influencing quality of life among family caregivers of non-cancer patients at the end-of-life stage.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a questionnaire. Participants included 172 family caregivers caring for non-cancer patients. Data were collected from April to May 2016 and analyzed with descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson¡¯s correlation coefficient, and a hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 24.0 program.
Results: The mean of the participants¡¯ quality of life was 51.70¡¾9.98. Factors influencing quality of life among family caregivers were spiritual care (¥â=-.45, p=.021), coordination among family members or relatives (¥â=-.27, p=.029), and psychological support (¥â=-.04, p=.031). The explanatory power of the model was 21.0%.
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that care needs; spiritual care, coordination among family members or relatives, and psychological support are important factors for family caregivers¡¯ quality of life. To improve quality of life among family caregivers who are taking care of non-cancer patients at the end-of-life stage, national systems establishing comprehensive support considering the respective care needs of patients are crucial.
