Published: October 2000

This population-based study investigated the relationship between stresses (hassles) and burnout for 30 family caregivers and their institutionalized demented elderly. The Burnout Measure, the Patient Hassles Scales and the Nursing Home Hassles Scale were used. Hassles included: patient hassles (cognitive, behavior, basic ADL) and nursing home hassles (caregiver - staff, patient - staff, practical/logistical). The caregiver's characteristics are described in relation to burnout and the caregiver's most frequent hassles are discussed. All subscales except basic ADL were correlated to burnout. However, regression analysis showed the nursing home hassles to be the most important stresses explaining variance in burnout among family caregivers.

Article Synopsis
  • Medication management in home hospice is tough for family caregivers, prompting the creation of a program called SiMPLIfy to support them through patient-centered medication reviews.
  • A pilot trial involving 22 patient-caregiver pairs showed that a significant proportion of intervention patients experienced a reduction in Medication Regimen Complexity Index (MRCI) compared to control patients, though the results weren't statistically significant.
  • The program could potentially ease medication complexity and reduce polypharmacy, highlighting the importance of effective communication between clinicians, caregivers, and patients.
