| description | The involvement of caregiver in direct care of COPD patients is important as they
help to assist them with the activity of daily living. For enabling the patients to improve
their condition, caregivers need to be knowledgeable in facing patients with COPD. The
general objective of the study was to determine caregiver knowledge on COPD among
COPD patients in outpatient clinic Hospital USM. A cross-sectional study was conducted
on 41 caregivers recruited using a simple random method. Demographic data of the
COPD caregivers were analyzed by SPSS version 27.0 using descriptive statistics. Mann
Whitney test was used to examine differences between gender and caregiver knowledge
on COPD. Differences between the level of education with caregiver knowledge on
COPD were examined using the Kruskal Wallis test. Spearman correlation test was used
to measure the relationship between age and years of experience in taking care of COPD
patients with caregiver knowledge on COPD. The findings of this study show that
caregiver knowledge on COPD categorized as better knowledge (M: 27.22). Besides,
there is no significant association between gender with caregiver knowledge on COPD
(p=0.658). However, there is significant difference between level of education with
caregiver knowledge on COPD (p=0.010). Moreover, there is a very weak, negative
correlation between age and caregiver knowledge on COPD (r = -0.07, p = 0.647), as well
as a very weak, positive correlation between years of experience in taking care of COPD
patients with caregiver knowledge on COPD (r = 0.21, p = 0.195). In conclusion, |
