Abstract: (2000 Views)
Aims: Diabetes is common among veterans, who are often cared for by family members. The complexities of caregiving can cause stress, highlighting the need to improve caregivers’ self-efficacy. Home visits are essential for healthcare education. This study assessed the impact of home visits on caregiving stress and self-efficacy among caregivers of veterans with diabetes.
Materials & Methods: This clinical trial, conducted in 2024, involved 60 caregivers of veterans with diabetes from Gorgan medical centers. Participants were randomized into the intervention (four 40-60 minute home visit sessions with tailored diabetes care training) and control (routine training) groups (n=30 each). Data were collected using demographic questionnaires, Sherer’s Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, and the Caregiver Burden Inventory by Novak and Guest.
Findings: No significant difference in pre-intervention self-efficacy existed between the groups (p=0.749). Post-intervention, a statistically significant difference in caregivers’ self-efficacy was observed (p<0.001). Caregiving burden showed no significant difference between the groups pre- (p=0.079) or post-intervention (p=0.220).
Conclusion: Home visits are effective for enhancing caregiving skills. However, the unchanged caregiving burden indicates that home visits alone are insufficient to reduce stress.
