The Effect of Planned Homecare According to Orem on the Self-care Agency and Care Burden in Patients With Primary Brain Tumors and Caregivers: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of home care planned according to Orem on self-care agency and care burden in brain tumor patients and their caregivers. The study was performed with patients who underwent surgery for a brain tumor and their caregivers in the neurosurgery clinic of a tertiary hospital. Ethical committee approval, institutional permission, patients and their caregiver verbal and written consent were obtained. According to Orem's nursing theory, home care practice combining education, counseling and nursing care started with pre-operative education in the hospital for the patients and caregivers in the intervention group and continued at home with 5 home visits in a 6-month period. Self-Care Agency Scale, MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Brain Tumor-Turkish Form and Caregiver Burden Scale were used as measurement tools in the study.The value of p<0.05 was accepted statistically significant in the data analyses.
In this randomized controlled experimental study, it was aimed to determine the effect of home care planned according to Orem on self-care agency and care burden in brain tumor patients and their caregivers. The study was performed with patients who underwent surgery for a brain tumor and their caregivers in the neurosurgery clinic of a tertiary hospital. Ethical committee approval, institutional permission, patients and their caregiver verbal and written consent were obtained. According to Orem's nursing theory, home care practice combining education, counseling and nursing care started with pre-operative education in the hospital for the patients and caregivers in the intervention group and continued at home with 5 home visits in a 6-month period. Self-Care Agency Scale, MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Brain Tumor-Turkish Form and Caregiver Burden Scale were used as measurement tools in the study. In addition, measurement tools used in patients and caregivers were applied to an average of 6 month: before surgery preoperative assessment at hospital (Time 1), after surgery 1st month at home (Time 2) after surgery 3rd month at home (Time 3) and after surgery 6th month at home (Time 4). Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, two-way analysis of variance. Bonferroni correction was applied when comparing the main effects and comparisons between categorical variables and groups were evaluated with Fisher's exact test, p<.05 value was considered statistically significant.
