Objetivo: Investigar o perfil sociodemográfico de cuidadores familiares de idosos que residem no domicílio e o nível de sobrecarga imposta pela atividade de cuidado. Método: Estudo transversal e descritivo, realizado com 29 cuidadores familiares de idosos, cadastrados em uma Estratégia Saúde da Família. Foram coletados dados referentes à independência funcional dos idosos, sociodemográficos e nível de sobrecarga do cuidador. Estudo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa, sob Parecer nº 128.580/2012. Resultados: Constatou-se que 79% dos idosos cuidados apresentavam dependência funcional. O perfil dos cuidadores evidenciou que em sua maioria são mulheres, casadas, com idade avançada, grau de escolaridade e renda baixa. O tempo dedicado ao cuidado é longo, justificando a sobrecarga observada, principalmente nos cuidadores de idosos dependentes. Conclusão: Evidenciou-se necessidade de maior suporte social e de saúde aos cuidadores familiares, o que poderia contribuir na redução da sobrecarga relacionada ao cuidar. Descritores: Cuidadores, Família, Idoso, Apoio Social.

Schizophrenia is a complex chronic disease that turns the affected person into a dependent and disorganized patient. This pathology is responsible for a major burden on the family members who are in charge of taking care of that person. Analyze to what extant can socio-demographic, clinical and environmental variables interfere with the burden felt by family members who live with someone suffering from schizophrenia; to analyze the relationship between a depressive mood state and the burden on the family members who live with a person suffering from schizophrenia were our objectives. As a methodology, quantitative and non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study. The data collection was done through socio-demographic questionnaires; Vaz Serra and Pio Abreu's Portuguese version of Beck Depression Inventory (1973); Zarit Burden Interview adapted by Sequeira (2007). 95 informal caregivers taking care of schizophrenic patients were assessed. Participants are mainly female (66%), aged 40 or over (79%) and 36 % are the patients' mothers. Gender, age and existing family ties variables interfered significantly with the impact caused on the caregiver's burden. There was a statistically significant correlation between the depressive symptomatology and the burden experienced by the family caregivers. Family/ informal caregiver experience several difficulties when they have to go through a daily process of taking care of a family member suffering from schizophrenia. This situation may cause exhaustion, conflicts, emotional suffering and even depressive symptomatology. This burden of care grows stronger as the patients are older, when they are male and when there are no families ties binding patient and caregiver. These variables must be taken into account in these caregivers' service plans.

Objective: To analyze the association between filial responsibility and the overload of the children when caring for their older parents. Method: Cross-sectional study with 100 caregiver children of older adults. Filial liability was assessed by the attitudes of the responsible child (scale of expectation and filial duty) and by care behaviors (assistance in activities of daily living, emotional and financial support, and keeping company). The overload was assessed by the Caregiver Burden Inventory. To assess the associations, the correlation coefficients of Pearson and Spearman, Kruskal-Wallis Test, and Mann-Whitney were employed. Variables that presented p-value<0.20 in the bivariate analysis were inserted in a multivariate linear regression model. Results: The factors associated with overload were: formal employment (p=0.002), feelings regarding family life (p<0.001), financial support (p=0.027), and assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) (p<0.001). Conclusion: Children who were more involved with the ADLs and provided financial support showed higher levels of overload.
