Caring is a fundamental issue in the treatment of a patient with illness. India being a country of traditions and family values, majority of patients stay with their families and this informal caregiver is usually a family member. The abstract of this study “Compare The Caregiver Burden Among The Psychiatric Illness And Medical Illness In Tripura Medical College & Dr. BRAM Teaching Hospital, Agartala, Tripura West” concisely summarizes the core content. The study aimed to differentiate the burden of caregivers among the psychiatric illness and medical illness. The objectives of the study were to assess the burden of caregivers among psychiatric illness, to assess the burden of caregivers among medical illness, to compare the caregivers burden among the psychiatric illness and medical illness and to determine the association between burden of the caregiver among the psychiatric illness and medical illness with their selected socio demographic variables. The conceptual framework used for this study was based on Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model (1976). Quantitative research approach with descriptive comparative research design was adopted by applying purposive sampling technique among 60 caregivers (30 caregivers of the psychiatric illness and 30 caregivers of medical illness) for this study. Care-givers burden were assessed with socio-demographic proforma and standardized Zarit Burden Interview Schedule. The result showed that, 60% caregivers of psychiatric illness had moderate burden and 57% caregivers of medical illness had mild burden.The mean score of caregiver burden among the psychiatric illness and medical illness was found to be 49.33 and 39.17 respectively. The mean difference was 10.16 and unpaired ‘t’ value was 3.25 which was found to be significant at the level of P<0.05. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that there was significant association between caregiver burden among the psychiatric illness with their selected socio-demographic variables i.e., marital status, cargivers income and patients occupational status. And also there was significant association between caregiver burden among the medical illness with their selected demographic variables i.e., duration of stay with patients and family income per annum. The other variables showed no significance association. So, finally the study findings concluded that, burden experienced by the caregivers of psychiatric illness was mostly of moderate burden whereas the caregivers of medical illness was mild burden.
