Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select the family caregivers of liver transplant recipients who visited the Organ Transplantation Center of Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital from June 2022 to December 2022 as the research subjects. A total of 205 family caregivers of adult liver transplant recipients wereselected by convenience sampling method and investigated with the General Information Questionnaire : Zarit CaregiverBurden Interview(ZBI). Results The score of caregiver burden of liver transplant recipients was 28.84±14.33), and67.8% of them had moderate and severe level of caregiver burden. Univariate analysis showed that there were statisticallysignificant differences in the level of care burden between liver transplant recipients with postoperative complications and their self-care ability, family caregivers with other diseases, family monthly income, daily care time and total caring time (P 0.05). Multiple linear regression results showed that the self-care ability of liver transplant recipients and whetherfamily caregivers had other diseases were the influencing factors of care burden (P 0.05). Conclusion The familycaregivers of liver transplant recipients have a certain degree of care burden. While providing nursing care for recipients,medical staff should also pay attention to their family caregivers and take timely targeted interventions to reduce the careburden and improve the overall quality of life.
