Özet
Aim:
This study aimed to compare the burnout and caregiver burden in caregivers during Covid-19 due to the decrease in patient participation in the Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) and the inability to accept patients for a while before the Covid-19 pandemic.
Materials and Methods:
Caregivers of 47 patients registered to CMHC were included in this study. The first interview for this study was held in January 2020, before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in Turkey. The second interview was held in June 2021, after the start of the COVID -19 pandemic and thus lockdown and restrictions. Sociodemographic data form, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale were applied to caregivers.
Results:
The findings obtained in the second interview showed that Maslach Burnout Inventory (p<0.001) and Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale (p<0.001) total scores were significantly higher, and the increase in burnout level was higher in those with low education levels and those who did not work (p<0.05). Also, the increase in burnout level and caregiver burden was higher in those with low income, caregivers for a longer time, those with low drug compliance, and those with a history of Covid-19 (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the increasing burnout and caregiver burden of the caregivers of patients who could not actively participate in TRSM activities due to the measures taken for social isolation supported the importance of TRSM services.
