Quality of life and caregiver burden in pediatric glaucoma: A systematic review
Pediatric conditions can lead to significant caregiver burden and poor quality of life (QoL). This systematic review describes research relating to caregiver burden and QoL of caregivers of pediatric glaucoma patients. A systematic database search of Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science...

description | Pediatric conditions can lead to significant caregiver burden and poor quality of life (QoL). This systematic review describes research relating to caregiver burden and QoL of caregivers of pediatric glaucoma patients. A systematic database search of Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, and the three journals within the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) was conducted in October 2021. Publications underwent abstract and full-text screening and were included if they reported pediatric caregivers’ QoL using quantitative or qualitative methods. Review articles, publications not in English, and articles focusing on adult glaucoma patients were excluded. Studies then underwent risk of bias assessment and data extraction. Of the 105 publications identified, 8 publications with 667 participants were included in the review. Studies indicated significantly higher burden and poor QoL in caregivers. Female sex, lower education level, lower income, and working status of caregivers were associated with poorer QoL and greater burden. Additionally, more severe and longer duration of the child’s disease negatively impacted these measures of caregiver wellbeing. Additionally, studies found significant improvement in caregiver QoL after patients underwent surgery with combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy. In conclusion, few studies have investigated the impact of pediatric glaucoma on caregivers. This review of the existing studies found poor QoL and high levels of caregiver burden within this population. Given the lifelong nature of pediatric glaucoma, there is a need for further longitudinal research focusing on the caregivers of these pediatric patients. Long-term follow-up would allow for a greater understanding of how caregiver QoL changes over the course of the disease. |
