“…The profile of the participants (middle-aged women, daughters or wives of patients, with less than 8 years of education, low-income, retired or with triple work hours) is compatible with that verified in low-and middle-income countries, such as Brazil, where informal care for people with MND is predominantly carried out by women (Aires et al, 2020;Alves et al, 2019). The accumulation of activities for these women and the growing need for patients' care increase the likelihood of burden among these caregivers, as reported in the literature (Carvalho & Neri, 2019).…”

“…23 Compreende-se que saber o nível de escolaridade dos cuidadores é importante, uma vez que norteia o planejamento de uma abordagem eficaz e que possa ser de fácil compreensão no ato da educação em saúde ou qualquer método educativo envolvendo o público. 24 Constataram-se altas prevalências das DCNT nos idosos dos artigos selecionados nesta revisão, sendo uma das principais causas de adoecimento e de dependência. Torna-se evidente que as DCNT representam um fenômeno crescente, prevalente principalmente em idosos, responsável por altas taxas de óbitos e incapacidades, entretanto, os impactos podem ser minimizados por meio da implementação de estratégias que visem à promoção da saúde e melhorem a assistência aos portadores por meio de uma abordagem multidisciplinar que envolva a família, o cuidador e o idoso a fim de favorecer o cuidado, sendo destacada a importância de envolver a família e seus cuidadores no processo de cuidado aos idosos com DCNT.…”

“…Resultados na literatura apontaram que a carga de trabalho desses cuidadores está baseada em estressores como: a idade; a escolaridade; o tempo que dedicam ao idoso; o grau de parentesco; a convivência e o uso de renda própria para custear os cuidados, demonstrando a necessidade de mais estudos sobre o tema (Aires et al, 2020). Há evidências da necessidade de conhecer o perfil desses cuidadores, a sobrecarga e as consequências para a vida tanto do cuidador quanto do idoso (Jesus et al, 2018).…”
