Association between exercise training in haemodialysis patients and burden of their family caregivers: A cross-sectional study
Nephrology Jun 22, 2019
Garcia RSA, et al. - In this study including 60 caregivers of haemodialysis (HD) patients, researchers focused on the link between HD patients’ involvement in intradialytic exercise training with the burden of their family caregivers. Among overall caregivers, 30 looked after patients that regularly participated in an exercise programme during dialysis sessions and the remaining 30 cared for patients undergoing usual HD treatment without intradialytic exercise. The quality of life (short-form-36), anxiety and depression levels of the caregivers were evaluated. Less caregiver burden, better quality of life and lower anxiety and depression levels were shown by the caregivers of HD patients submitted to intradialytic exercise vs caregivers of patients undergoing usual treatment.
