Objectives:
The study aimed to improve family caregivers' skills and evaluate the effect on their anxiety levels.
Method:
In our study, family caregivers of patients unable to perform daily activities were provided with care training. Their anxiety levels were examined before and after the training.
Results:
Care training increased the family caregivers' sense of self-efficacy but caused no significant difference in their anxiety levels. Factors such as gender, education level and employment status influenced anxiety levels. Higher education and income were associated with lower trait anxiety while employment status was linked to higher anxiety levels.
Conclusion:
Care training increased the family caregivers' sense of self-efficacy while causing no difference in their anxiety levels. In order to reduce anxiety, other negative factors affecting the caregiver should be discovered and corrected.
