    Investigating the Relationship Between Caregiver Burden and Quality of Life in Burn Care
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Seyyah, Mine; Reyhanioglu, Duygu Aktar; Kardas, Ayse Sena Yumbul
    Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship between caregiver burden and quality of life among primary caregivers of burn survivors receiving inpatient treatment in an acute care setting. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive and correlational study included 53 primary caregivers of hospitalized burn patients, recruited from the Burn Care Unit of a tertiary hospital in Turkey between August 2022 and January 2023. Participants were aged 18 or older, identified as the primary caregiver, and able to communicate in Turkish. Individuals with psychiatric disorders were excluded. Data were collected through face-to-face structured interviews using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), in which higher scores indicate better quality of life. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and linear regression were used to analyze the data. Results: The caregivers had a mean age of 38.75 +/- 10.76 years; 71.7 % were female, and 50.9 % had completed only primary education. The average caregiving duration was 10.6 days. The mean ZBI score was 22.54 +/- 15.11, indicating moderate burden. Demographic variables did not significantly affect caregiver burden (p > .05). A moderate negative correlation was found between caregiver burden and their emotional (r = -0.367, p = .007), psychological (r = -0.313, p = .023), and physical functioning (r = -0.355, p = .009) subdomains of the SF-36. Conclusion: A inverse relationship was observed between caregiver burden and caregiver quality of life, especially in emotional, psychological, and physical functioning domains. Although demographic factors were not influential, lower quality of life was associated with greater caregiver burden.

    Effect of Peppermint-Lemon Aromatherapy on Nausea-Vomiting and Quality of Life in Pediatric Patients With Leukemia: a Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Elsevier Science inc, 2023) Sanci, Yagmur; Yildiz, Suzan; Aycicek, Ali; Mohur, Naciye
    Background: Nausea and vomiting, frequently induced by chemotherapy, can delay treatment protocols and the healing process. Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine how aromatherapy inhalation with peppermint and lemon using a diffuser affects nausea-vomiting management and quality of life in 2-12-year-old children undergoing chemotherapy. Design and methods: The study utilized a pretest-posttest control group experimental design with randomized groups. A total of 90 children who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The experimental group received Mentha Piperita and Citrus Lemon essential oils through a diffuser, while the placebo group received water through a diffuser. The control group did not receive any intervention. Results: Pulse and respiratory rates of children treated with aromatherapy were found to be significantly lower than the other groups. After aromatherapy application, quality of life of the children in the experimental group was significantly higher than the other groups. The change in the Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching scores of the experimental group on the 4th chemotherapy cycle compared to the 1st chemotherapy cycle was significantly higher than the change in the other groups. Conclusions: Consequently, it was determined that inhalation aromatherapy with peppermint-lemon was effective in the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea-vomiting symptoms and quality of life compared to the placebo and control groups. Practice implications: Inhalation aromatherapy with mint-lemon can be used as an alternative method to improve the quality of life in children with leukemia who suffer from chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
