Abstract
This study was aimed to examine the prevalence and factors associated with psychological distress among Saudi family caregivers. This was a cross-sectional, descriptive correlational study conducted on 163 participants. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-6 was used to collect data. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were run in SPSS. Results indicated that psychological distress was significantly associated with employment status, education level, monthly money spent on caring, time spent on caregiving, and chronic disease type variables. Implementing effective programs to raise family caregivers' understanding of psychological distress and improve their engagement in treatment is important.
