Most caregivers for the elderly face burdens
A recent Saudi study revealed that 83.3% of family members caring for elderly individuals with chronic illnesses experience varying caregiving burdens, ranging from mild to moderate and severe, which negatively impacts their quality of life. The study confirmed that the reasons for the high burden include the lengthy duration of care, the elderly person's dependence on others, the presence of chronic illnesses in the caregiver, and limited access to home care services—factors that contribute to reducing the burden and improving quality of life. Social specialist Raghda Wahib highlighted the importance of distributing caregiving duties among family members and providing psychological and social support to caregivers, including education and training, to achieve balance and lessen the pressures associated with this responsibility.
