Determinants of Caregiver Burden: A Comparative Study on Caregiver Burden Among Individuals Providing Care to Physically and Mentally Disabled Individuals

Caregiver burden is influenced not only by disability type and severity but also by psychological factors of the caregiver, such as general symptom levels and separation anxiety. The findings emphasise the importance of addressing caregivers' emotional needs through targeted psychosocial interventions. Incorporating caregiver-focused support into health and social care policies may help reduce burden, improve psychological well-being and ultimately strengthen the quality of care provided.
