Introduction: Caring burden is a situation that the caregiver faces during the care of a person with a spinal cord injury. Considering the significant level of stress and care burden created for caregivers in providing care, the concept of resilience becomes important. Considering to importance of the issue, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between resilience and the care burden of caregivers of people with spinal cord injuries referring to the Iranian Spinal Cord Injury Support Association in 2021.
Method: This research was a cross-sectional descriptive-correlation study. The samples were 196 caregivers of people with spinal cord injuries who referred to the Iranian Spinal Cord Injury Support Association in 2021 and were selected through a continuous sampling method and based on the inclusion criteria. In this study, the demographic form of caregivers and two questionnaires, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Zarit Caregiver Burden, were used. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 26 software using descriptive statistics, statistical tests of Spearman's correlation analysis, independent t-test, and analysis of variance with a significance level of P = 0.001.
Results: The average score of resilience and care burden in caregivers of patients was 63.81±17.32 and 31.07±17.85, respectively. There was a significant negative correlation between resilience and care burden (r=-0.434), so increasing care burden decreased resilience (P<0.001). The results of a one-way analysis of variance showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the location of the lesion and the resilience score (P=0.175) and the caregiving burden score (P=0.540).
Conclusion: The results of this research showed that with a decrease in the resilience of caregivers in people with spinal cord injuries, the burden of caring for them increased. Therefore, reducing the care burden and not caring for the person alone in these people can improve the caregivers' resilience against the surrounding problems and stresses.
