Introduction“Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurological disease after Alzheimer's disease. It has been described as a chronic, progressive neurological disorder, which is generally not life-threatening but has no cure (Magennis and Corry, 2013). Parkinson's disease has no antidote but its treatments have changed. Patients need help from their caregivers when PD gradually begins to affect their motor, cognitive, and emotional functioning. Patients cannot meet their daily needs, requiring caregiver assistance. Caregivers can be the patient's relatives, friends or non-professional caregivers (Martinez-Martin, Benito-Leon, Alonso, Catalan, Pondal, Zamarbide, … & Pedro, 2005). There are formal caregivers and paid helpers (Cifu, Carne, Brown, Pegg, Ong, Qutubuddin & Baron, 2006). Caregiver usually means that the patient's daily needs, such as household chores and personal hygiene, will be taken care of. Caregivers must understand the patient's needs and work accordingly (Hounsgaard, Pedersen, & Wagner, 2011). The services provided by caregivers are essential. Unfortunately, caregiver burden has not been extensively researched in our local context. Previous research in other countries has proven that caregivers face many challenges. My research will focus on our local caregivers and the challenges they face that have not been revealed to the world. Literature review Based on our keywords Caregivers, Factors, Burden and Parkinson Disease extracted from the databases of CINAHL Plus, MEDLINE and PUDMED, a total of 97 articles were found and we use 7 articles out of the 97 articles. Caregivers with PD tend to face more challenges than other caregivers for other medical conditions. PD will make a pers...... middle of paper ......ewer?sid=5d065f84-fc1e-466d-98ea-688198241cff%40sessionmgr4&vid=5&hid=8.Martinez- Martin, P., Forjaz, MJ, Frades-Payo, B., Rusinol, AB, Fernandez-Garcia, JM,…Catalan, MJ (2007).
