ABSTRACT
The correlations between activities of daily living (ADL) among patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and their caregivers' burden, quality of life (QoL), and presenteeism was investigated. Participants included outpatients and inpatients with SCI at a rehabilitation center and their caregivers, recruited between March 2020 and April 2021. Eighty-seven valid responses were analysed using independent t-tests and Pearson's correlations. There was a difference in caregiver burden according to patients' ADL performance. QoL was negatively correlated with caregiver burden and presenteeism. Caregiver burden and presenteeism were positively correlated. Social support can improve caregivers' QoL and reduce caregiver burden and presenteeism-induced work impairment.
