Abstract

Objective: To assess the level and associated factors of family caregiver burden in pediatric glaucoma, and to explore its correlation with psychological resilience and social support, thereby informing the development of targeted interventions. Methods: Using convenience sampling, 120 primary caregivers of children who underwent glaucoma surgery at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, were recruited between August 2024 and May 2025. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of both the children and their caregivers were collected. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Results: The mean ZBI total score was 16.38 ± 10.62, the mean CD-RISC score was 56.35 ± 18.28, and the mean SSRS total score was 42.45 ± 7.60. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the child's age, presence of ocular complications, and social support level were independent predictors of caregiver burden (P＜0.05). Conclusions: Family caregiver burden in pediatric glaucoma is multifactorial. Nurses and healthcare professionals should focus on enhancing social support through targeted health education and psychological interventions to help alleviate this burden.
