Abstract
PurposeTo investigate the preparedness, perceived stress, risk of depression, and quality of life of family caregivers of patients receiving a temporary enterostomy, to provide a reference for improving the long-term care and quality of life of patients receiving a temporary enterostomy. MethodsWe enrolled 181 family caregivers of patients in a hospital in China from 2021 to 2023. Responses to the General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese Caregiver Preparedness Scale, the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale, the Chinese bilingual version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-2, and the 12-item Short Form Survey were collected online. ResultsPearson’s correlation analysis revealed that family caregivers' risk of depression was negatively correlated with their preparedness, the physical component summary score, and the mental component summary score but was positively correlated with perceived stress. Multiple linear regression analysis identified factors influencing caregiver preparedness. ConclusionsThese findings help healthcare personnel to identify high-risk individuals among family caregivers of patients receiving a temporary enterostomy. This provides a basis for formulating well-planned, dynamic health education programs that meet patients' needs for disease-related knowledge and care.
