Introduction: Despite the large number of caregivers suffering from various psychiatric disorders, research on psychological symptoms among caregivers of hospitalized patients is lacking in Saudi populations.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among caregivers of hospitalized Saudi patients.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of depression, anxiety and stress among caregivers of hospitalized patients was conducted.
Arabic speaking caregivers (n ¼ 353) between the ages of 14 and 80 years were included in the study.
The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) test (Arabic version) was used to measure the three psychological symptoms.
Results: The study has shown high rates of depression, anxiety and stress among caregivers (72.8%, 76.5%, and 61.5%, respectively).
Depression was found to be associated with long-term hospital stay (81.4% vs.
69.3%; p-value ¼ 0.021) and family caregivers (75.4% vs.
46.9%, p-value ¼ 0.001).
Anxiety was found to be associated with family caregivers (78.8% vs.
53.1%; p-value ¼ 0.001).
The three psychological symptoms were higher among those with an age above 20 years old (p-value ,0.05).
Multivariate logistic models show the risk of the psychological symptoms increased with low-income, higher education, immediate relation to the patient, and older caregivers.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms were very common among caregivers.
The results showed that approximately 8 out of 10 caregivers suffer from at least one psychiatric disorder.
Older, low socioeconomic status, and well-educated caregivers were
