Effect of Role Strain, Burden and Biochemical Parameter among the Care Givers of Patient with COVID- 19

Abstract

Framework: A respiratory virus outbreak that started in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, has been linked to the COVID-2019. Aim: The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the degree of role stress, load, and physiological parameter among those who provide care for the patient with COVID 19. Investigation: A cross-sectional descriptive research study using a quantitative technique was carried out on patients who lived in and around Vadapalani. Based on the inclusion criteria, a self-structured questionnaire was used to collect demographic and clinical data from a total of 100 study participants. Fasting cholesterol levels were also assessed while the patients were receiving care. Results: The outcome results identified that the, 36 (36%) had mild, 26 (26%) had moderate and 28 (28%) had severe level of role strain and 58 (58%) had mild, 6 (0.6%) had moderate and 36 (36%) had severe level of burden. The living condition of care giver and duration of stay with client had shown statistically significant association with role strain, burden and biochemical parameter among the caregivers of patient with COVID 19 at p<0.05. Conclusion: This study demonstrates and concluded thatthere is strong relationship between level of role strain, burden and fasting lipid profile.
