Summary:碩士 === 亞洲大學 === 健康產業管理學系長期照護組碩士在職專班 === 104 === Diabetes isn’t only a personal health problem, but an issue that conducts family’s assistance because of complications. The patients’ progress of disease is related to the health of mental and physical burden and living qualities of primary caregivers. The purpose of this study is to understand how Diabetes Shared Care effects the blood sugar, care burden, care pressure, living quality of primary caregivers. This study conducts the intervention program. The intervening group is recruited by primary caregivers of Diabetes II from Diabetes Shared Care Network, and study subjects are taken by Endocrinology & Metabolism Center. The control group is recruited by primary caregivers who haven’t joined the Diabetes Shared Center of Diabetes II, and study subjects are also taken by Endocrinology & Metabolism Center. Research group is focused on primary caregivers in a hospital of Taiwan, and the study subjects are gathered from May 20th, 2016 to June 15th, 2016 via constructed questionnaire and scales. The data is included basic information, blood sugar, condition data scale of physical and mental, profiles of cases and data of labs. This study employs statistics analysis, describes the features demography of statistics, compares average and the difference of standard via examination, show the numbers of samples, percentage via the Chi Square Test, and study the differences of personal effects via Regression Analysis. The study shows that the blood sugar of caregivers who are Diabetes Shared Care Network is no difference with ones who aren’t in Diabetes Shared Care Network. However, the care burden, and care pressure are higher and living quality is also is worse than caregivers who aren’t in Diabetes Shared Care Network. Furthermore, we find out that the living quality of female (PCS =0.031; MCS=0.014) who are above 51 years old, (51-60 years old, p<0.001; above 61 years old, p<0.001) and medical history (p<0.001) is worse and over 51 years old (51-60 years old, p<0.001; above 61 years old, p<0.001) higher care burden of caregivers. The blood sugar of Caregivers who live with spouses in a married status (p=0.027), relationship is sons (p=0.020), daughters (p<0.001), daughters in law (p=0.040) and others (p=0.025) is higher. The pressure of caregivers is bigger if the patients’ blood sugar is higher (OR=0.992,p=0.036). In this study, we find the patients who are in the Diabetes Shared Care Network can control better (p=0.009), they are caregivers in the range of normal BMI and the pressure is lighter than those ones who aren’t in the Diabetes Shared Care Network. However, this study finds out that the care burden of caregivers who are in Diabetes Shared Care Network is higher and living quality is worse than who isn’t in the Diabetes Shared Care Network, so we should pay more attention to the physical and mental health of caregivers of Diabetes Shared Care Network and take care both of patients and caregivers.
