| dc.description.abstract | Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of perceived social support on the caregiving burden and anxiety of parents of children with burn injuries. Material and methods: This is a correlational descriptive study. The study was conducted with parents of 52 children who were admitted and treated in a paediatric burn clinic at a university hospital between January and December, 2019. The Zarit Care Burden Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the State Anxiety Scale were used in the study. Path analysis was performed with observed variables, and structural equation model (SEM) was constructed using Amos programme. Results: The mean age of the parents was 30.94 ± 7.33 years. In the study, the cause of burns in 55.8 % of the children was contact with flame (oil, thinner, and gas) and it was found that 82.7 % of the children had third degree burns and 65.4 % had second degree burns. A positive significant correlation was found between anxiety and caregiving burden, but a negative correlation was found between anxiety and parental social support. Conclusions: The study found that the level of anxiety and caregiving burden of parents of children with burns increased as their social support decreased. In line with the results of our study, it is seen that health professionals (doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers) working in paediatrics can involve parents in care interventions by assessing their social support, caregiving burden, and anxiety. Practice implications: It has been observed that the care burden and anxiety levels of burned children increase as the social support they receive from their parents decreases. Healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers) working in this clinic should provide social, emotional, and psychological support to parents and share the burden of care. It has been shown that as social support increases, caregiving and anxiety levels can improve significantly. | |
