QoL was impaired in both groups, but there were no significant differences between severe asthma and COPD carers in either of the SF-12 component scores. The HADS scores revealed no difference between groups. Compared to severe asthma carers, COPD carers had significantly greater needs for: ‘having time for self’ (33% vs. 13%, p = 0.006), ‘equipment to help care for relative’ (33% vs. 13%, p = 0.006), ‘practical help in the home’ (35% vs. 18%, p = 0.006) and ‘getting a break from caring overnight’ (21% vs. 6%, p = 0.023). Conclusion: QoL is impaired in carers of people with severe asthma to a similar degree of COPD carers and other debilitating diseases like cancer. These novel data highlight the support needs of severe asthma carers and identifies areas where tailored support is needed to reduce their substantial carer burden.]]> Thu 20 Apr 2023 09:27:47 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53946 Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:57:57 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46274 Mon 14 Nov 2022 15:28:10 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36441 Mon 04 May 2020 13:05:04 AEST ]]>
