Summary

Caregiver burden is the response to the emotional, financial, physical, psychological, and social stressors associated with having to care for another family member. Previous studies have looked at the impact of caregiver burden in caregivers caring for loved ones dealing with long-term disease, such as dementia. The research has found that one in three caregivers suffer from depression, and experience high levels of stress and anxiety. However, these findings may not be relatable to the outpatient surgical setting. The purpose of this study is to find out how various factors such as the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden impact caregivers who are responsible for providing care to patients who are undergoing same-day surgical procedures that are traditionally performed as inpatient surgery. By understanding this potential burden on the caregiver, we hope that future healthcare improvements can be made to minimize this impact on the patients and their caregiver.
