Abstract:

Background: Caregivers’ strain mainly comes from lack of relevant care knowledge and nursing skills. Traditional health education is just a one-way information transmission mode without evaluation and feedback. Objective: To help caregivers’ memory, the researcher utilized a quasi-experimental design to measure the effectiveness of the teach-back method on caregivers’ strain in handling patients with prolonged immobilization. Method: A total of forty caregivers were averagely assigned into treatment (Teach-Back) and comparison group (traditional). Participant’s Data Sheet, The Zarit Burden Interview and Teach Back Assessment Tool was used to gather data. Results: There was a significant difference in caregivers’ strain before and after the Teach-Back Method in treatment (p<0.001) and comparison group (p <0.001). Likewise, a significant difference existed after the Teach-Back Method in the treatment group (p <0.001). Conclusion: The Teach-Back Method is an effective intervention in reducing caregivers’ strain in handling patients with prolonged immobilization.
