Overload of families taking care of elderly people with Alzheimer's Disease: a comparative study

Abstract: Patients' Families (FBIS-BR), and the results were analysed using the Mann-Whitney test and analysis of variance. Results: the global objective overload, and also in each subscale, was significantly greater in the group of main caregivers; the subjective overload showed no difference between the groups. Comparing the subscales, the routine assistance provided to the patient had greater influence on objective overload in both groups, and the concern with the elderly patient was the dimension that had most influ… Show more

“…Moreover, employed family caregivers providing <2 hours/day of care were more likely than employed non-caregivers to complete enrollment, which is inconsistent with evidence from one study suggesting that employed caregivers experience role overload, making it difficult for them to participate in health studies [39]. Several factors may explain this incongruence: first, higher participation was only identified among employed caregivers with less than 2 hours of daily caregiving, so role overload may not have been triggered; second, caregivers may be more likely to participate in health studies due to topic salience [40].…”

“…Cabe à enfermagem o olhar atento na identificação das dificuldades do cuidador na execução de seu trabalho, atuando como educador, multiplicador e facilitador das informações de ações de saúde (16) . O estudo evidenciou que o processo de envelhecimento acompanhado de uma doença debilitante como a DA, prejudica funcionalmente os idosos, tornando -os cada vez mais dependentes na realização de atividades como vestir-se, alimentar-se, tomar banho, administrar medicamentos e outras tarefas, que acabam sendo realizadas por terceiros, normalmente por cuidadores informais representados por um membro familiar (17)(18) . É no seio familiar que são transmitidos os valores morais e sociais que servirão de base para o processo de socialização do ser humano, bem como as tradições e os costumes perpetuados através de gerações.…”

“…Estudos realizados com cuidadores de idosos com DA evidenciaram capacidades distintas com que os membros da família enfrentam a doença (18,21) . A percepção do respeito à autonomia e à dignidade de cada um é imperativo ético no discurso dos cuidadores em favor do que pode ou não ser realizado uns pelos outros, haja vista a preocupação em satisfazer as necessidades do próximo, de tal forma que se sintam felizes em fazê-lo (14) .…”
