Abstract:Objective To investigate the anxiety status of family caregivers accompanying patients with cancer, to explore the factors influencing the occurrence of anxiety, and to provide a theoretical basis for adjusting the anxiety mood of the family caregivers. Methods Family caregivers of 234 cancer inpatients in a cancer hospital in Hunan Province were selected, and their psychological anxiety status and its influencing factors were surveyed by a general information questionnaire and Self-RatingAnxiety Scale (SAS). t test and analysis of variance were used to compare demographic characteristics, the patients’ disease condition, and SAS scores of the family caregivers. Results A total of 234 questionnaires were distributed in this survey, and 226 valid questionnaires were retrieved, with an effective recovery rate of 96.58%. The prevalence rate of anxiety in the family caregivers from this hospital was 69.91%. The standardized SAS score of the respondents was (55.67±10.60), which was significantly higher than that of general population(t=36.722,P<0.001). The SAS scores showed statistically significant differences among family caregivers with different ages (F=12.032, P<0.001), relationships with the patients (F=2.487, P=0.024), educational levels (F=15.333, P<0.001), and time spent on accompanying patients (F=5.215, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the SAS scores of family caregivers accompanying patients with different cancers (F=2.291, P=0.014), cancer staging (F=4.300, P=0.006), treatment time (F=4.333, P=0.002), degrees of pain (F=6.388, P<0.001), degrees of self-care (F=8.026, P<0.001), attitude towards disease (F=28.788, P<0.001), and degrees of understanding of the informed consent (F=6.808, P=0.001). Conclusion The prevalence rate of anxiety in family members of the cancer patients was significantly higher than that of general population. The degree of anxiety was not only related to ages of the family members, relationships with the patients, educational level, and time spent with patients, but also the patients’ disease condition, cancer staging, and attitude towards the disease.
