This cross-sectional descriptive study aims to examine the caregiving behavior of caregivers for elderly individuals with asthma and the factors influencing their caregiving behavior. The sample group consists of caregivers of elderly individuals with asthma, aged 20-59 years, whose elderly patients received treatment at the asthma clinic in Khamcha-i District, Mukdahan Province, with a total of 153 participants. A simple random sampling method was used, and data were collected using a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, including stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The study found that the majority of the sample were female (84.97%), with 40.52% aged 51 and above. Most were married (62.74%) and had completed primary education (62.75%). 33.33% were engaged in agriculture. The duration of caregiving for asthma patients ranged from 6 to 10 years (68.63%). The caregiver’s behavior of elderly individuals with asthma was rated as good (82.35%). The factors that predicted caregiving behavior of caregivers of elderly individuals with asthma at Khamcha-i Hospital in Mukdahan Province included the caregivers' perception of their competence in caregiving (Beta=.245) and their perception of the risk of complications (Beta=.223). These factors explained 27.6% of the variance in caregiving behavior with statistical significance at the p<0.05 level.
