背景：非正式照顾者为癌症患者提供长期的支持和护理，他们没有得到来自家庭和医疗系统的足够支持，因此，他们遭受着很大的照顾者负担。目的：在目前的研究中，我们调查了Benson松弛技术对癌症患者非正式照顾者负担的影响。方法：这项带有对照组的随机临床试验对113名照顾者进行，他们从诺瓦克和来宾照顾者负担清单中获得X≥48分。随机分为干预组(n=57)和对照组(n=56)。干预组进行Benson松弛训练，每日2次，每次20min，共1个月。对照组未接受任何干预。1个月后，两组均完成Novak和Guest照顾者负担调查问卷。本研究的概念框架是基于路德维希·冯·贝塔兰菲修正的一般系统理论。结果：干预组和对照组干预前照顾者总负担均分分别为71.16±14.42和74.47±15.16。干预后，干预组和对照组护理总负担均分分别为57.21±14.66和75.47±13.94。数据分析显示，干预组明显减少(P=0.000)。结论：Benson松弛技术作为一种廉价的非药理学方法，有效地减轻了癌症患者非正式照顾者的照顾者负担。
Background: Informal caregivers provide long-term support and care for cancer patients and they do not receive enough support from the family and the health system; as a result, they suffer from a lot of caregiver burden. Objectives: In the current study, we investigated the effect of the Benson relaxation technique on caregiver burden in informal caregivers of cancer patients. Methods: This randomized clinical trial with a control group was conducted on 113 caregivers, who scored X ≥ 48 from the Novak and Guest caregiver burden inventory. They were randomly divided into intervention group (n = 57) and control group (n = 56). The intervention group performed Benson relaxation twice a day for 20 minutes each time for 1 month. The control group did not receive any intervention. Then, after 1 month, Novak and Guest caregiver burden questionnaire was completed by both groups. The conceptual framework for this study was based on the general system theory modified by Ludwig Von Bertalanffy. Results: The mean score of the total caregiver burden before the intervention in the intervention and control groups was 71.16 ± 14.42 and 74.47 ± 15.16, respectively. After the intervention, the mean score of the total care burden in the intervention and control groups changed to 57.21 ± 14.66 and 75.47 ± 13.94, respectively. Data analysis shows a significant decrease in the intervention group (P = 0.000). Conclusions: The results showed that the Benson relaxation technique as a cheap and non-pharmacological method effectively reduces the caregiver burden in informal caregivers of cancer patients.
