@entity1 @entity308 @entity64 @entity158
UNASSIGNED: @entity64 is the first cause of disability in adults. Often, the care falls on the family and can affect their quality of life. AIM: To determine the health-related quality of life and the level of caregiver burden of a @entity1 after a @entity64 . METHOD: Descriptive and cross-sectional study. Caregivers, who had cared for a @entity1 for more than six months and without pay, were included. This study had been approved by the Ethics Committee. Variables collected: sociodemographic, EuroQol-5D questionnaire, Zarit scale, mood and sleep problems. RESULTS: Forty-eight caregivers were included, with a mean age of 55.63 (SD: 13.48) and the majority were @entity1 (70.8%). The mean time of the care was 28.8 months (SD: 28.68), with 58% stated having a depressed mood, 31% had burden, and 89.6% had sleep problems. The dimensions that presented problems (moderate and severe) in the EQ-5D were @entity158 (66.7%) and @entity308 (68.8%). The score on the visual analog scale rating of quality of life was associated with a worse mood (75.5 vs. 32, p=0.0028), with the @entity158 (81.94 vs. 38, p<0.001), and Zarit scale (r:<0.334, p=0.020). CONCLUSIONS: The role of caregivers of @entity64 @entity1 often falls on @entity1 . To be a caregiver affects the quality of life, mainly in the @entity158 and @entity308 dimensions, regardless of the functional status of the @entity1 . Nurses must identify the psychopathological needs and develop strategies on the prevention of the risk of burnout.
