In total, 151 family caregivers who were children or spouses responded (93.8%). In this cross-sectional study, primary family caregivers were personally interviewed using a set of anonymous structured questionnaires for data collection from one hospital in Northern Vietnam. We examined the factors contributing to caregiver burden via linear regression analysis and pathway analysis. Most family caregivers were under 60 years old (66.9%) and female (74.2%). Linear regression analysis indicated that family caregivers with chronic illness status (β = .20), the number of hours of caring for older adults (β = .15), self-efficacy (β =-.16), and caregiver behavior toward DM care support (β =-.39) were all significant factors contributing to caregiver burden (F = 10.395, p < .001, AdjR2 = .41). Pathway analysis showed that chronic illness status was a significant direct predictor of caregiver burden, whereas the number of hours of caring for older adults both directly and indirectly predicted caregiver burden via mediators including self-efficacy and caregiver behavior toward DM care support (χ2 = 1.021, df=1, p = .312, CFI = 1.000, GFI = .997, SRMR =.000, and RMSEA = .000). The characteristics of caregivers and their responsibility for older adults should be considered to decrease the burden of caregivers. Nursing intervention, social support, increased self-care and the acquisition of caregiving knowledge and skills might help in reducing family caregiver burden.}, pages = {19--31}, title = {Examining the factors of burden among family caregivers of older adults with diabetes mellitus regarding a development model}, volume = {44}, year = {2020} }
