Escalas para avaliação da sobrecarga de cuidadores de pacientes com Acidente Vascular Encefálico

Abstract: The objective of the study was to evaluate the available productions in literature about scales to measure the overload of caregivers of patients with stroke.

“…(8) The SS-QOL is a specific instrument to assess health-related quality of life among people who suffered a stroke, which was culturally validated and adapted to Brazil. (9,10) It lists 49 items in 12 domains and its scoring goes from 49 to 245 points. Answers vary from 1 to 5 points; higher figures indicate better health-related quality of life.…”

“…Both are simple, easy-to-understand tools that can be administered in a short time, which demonstrates their robust clinical applicability 14 . Moreover, the SF-36 was indicated by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality as one of the best tools for the assessment of stroke patients 15 and is considered to be the gold standard in health-related studies 7,16 .…”
