Objective. This work sought to identify, analyze, and synthesize the qualitative studies published on the experiences of patients and family caretakers during the transition of palliative care from the hospital to the home. Methodology. A narrative review was conducted on the PubMed, Cochrane Central, ScienceDirect, Ovid Nursing, CINALH, Scielo, and Bireme databases, from 2000 to 2014. Results. After the analysis and comparison of the data, the results were grouped into six themes: (1) the dyad and its knowledge regarding the diagnosis and prognosis; (2) emotions experienced by the family caretaker and the patient during discharge; (3) effective communication among those involved with the care; (4) education for the care of the person at home; (5) continuous support to the dyad at home, and (6) care overload: social support for the family caretaker. Conclusion. Patients and relatives in palliative care experience a broad range of needs during the transition process from the hospital to the home, which are often not covered by healthcare professionals. This review evidences the need to research further on the experiences of these families, especially during the stage prior to the transfer to the domicile.

RESUMENObjetivo: Describir el perfil y la Percepción de carga de la enfermedad en personas con enfermedad crónica e identificar correlaciones entre la Percepción de carga reportada y las variables sociodemográficas y de cuidado de la persona. Material y Método: Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo correlacional de corte transversal realizado con una muestra de 240 personas con enfermedad crónica en tres instituciones de salud. Se midió la Percepción de carga de la enfermedad con el instrumento Carga de la Enfermedad Crónica para el Paciente GCPC-UN y las variables sociodemográficas de los participantes con una encuesta de caracterización. Para el análisis de los datos se usó estadística descriptiva y para identificar las correlaciones se usó el estadístico Rho de Spearman. Resultados: Sobre la Percepción de carga se encontró que hay mayor impacto de la enfermedad en el Disconfort físico del paciente, seguido del impacto en los Aspectos socioculturales y familiares y, finalmente, en el Sufrimiento emocional y espiritual. La Percepción de carga de la enfermedad se relacionó con la edad (r= -,173; p= 0,007), el tiempo con la enfermedad (r= -,182; p= 0,005) y el número de horas de cuidado diario (r= ,357; p= 0,000). Conclusión: Las personas con enfermedad crónica perciben carga por la enfermedad principalmente en lo relacionado con el Disconfort físico que esta genera. Existe una asociación entre la Percepción de carga de la enfermedad con variables sociodemográficas como la edad, el tiempo con la enfermedad y las horas de cuidado diario. En este caso los profesionales de la salud deben prestar atención a la atención integral de los pacientes con enfermedad crónica en todas sus dimensiones.

Introduction: cerebrovascular diseases generate disability and dependence. It is the family caregiver who assumes responsibility for the daily care of the patient with sequelae of this disease. Assuming this new role is not an easy activity and requires preparation and accompaniment.
