“…A systematic review found that family caregivers suffer burden due to performing several roles and exposure to multiple factors that lead to attrition. The lack of choice in becoming a caregiver was the most frequent feature in these studies, due to the difficulties families have in resolving the problem of care, which subsequently often falls to a single member 26 .…”

Objectives: To compare burden and sociodemographic profile and to analyze the care needs of caregivers of elderly persons enrolled in Social Care Referral Centers in a municipal region in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Method: A cross-sectional, quantitative-qualitative study was carried out. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Zarit Burden Scale and three open questions regarding care needs were applied. The quantitative data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and the correlation test. The hermeneutic-dialectic referential was applied and the qualitative data were analyzed by the content analysis technique. Results: A total of 86 caregivers participated in the study. The majority were female (71.7%), had a mean age of 56.5 (sd=14.9) years, suffered burden and lived in vulnerable neighborhoods. With regard to care, the provision of support for activities of daily living, difficulties in caring and the help of other relatives were identified. Burden negatively correlated with age range and schooling (r=-0.11; r=-0.87). Conclusion: Guidance and the acquisition of caring skills remain unprovided by the resources and services that exist in vulnerable contexts, and resolutive support strategies are lacking in public facilities.

“…Spouses report greater financial and physical burden, more symptoms of depression and lower psychological well-being compared to children and stepchildren (7) . A review of the literature concluded that among the main factors generating burden in family member caregivers of adults and older adults were physical and psychological exhaustion, lack of support from other family members, patient's degree of dependency, and the role of caregiver (8) .…”

Objective: Identifying the level of anxiety, stress and depression symptoms in family members of patients with heart failure; identifying the relationship between these feelings with sociodemographic and clinical variables. Method: A cross-sectional study carried out with 100 family members. Depression, anxiety, and stress were evaluated by the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories and the Perceived Stress Scale -10. The relationship between feelings and variables was performed through the t-test, Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis. Results: Mean depression was 8.24, anxiety was 77.95, and stress was 17.43. The correlation coefficient between depression and anxiety and depression and stress was 0.53, and it was 0.66 between anxiety and stress. Females (p=0.002, p=0.031), smoking (p=0.05, p=0.011) and sedentary lifestyle (p=0.023, p=0.001) were related to anxiety and stress, respectively. Family income lower than five minimum wages (p=0.012) was related to depression, and regular/poor self-perceived health status related to the three feelings. Conclusion: Family members did not present high levels of these feelings. The scales were directly correlated with each one another and some variables were related to stress, anxiety and depression. DESCRIPTORS Heart Failure; Family; Anxiety; Stress, Phychological; Depression; Cardiovascular Nursing.Anxiety, stress and depression in family members of patients with heart failure* Ansiedade, estresse e depressão de familiares de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca Ansiedad, estrés y depresión de familiares de pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca INTRODUCTIONHeart failure (HF) is the final pathway for various heart diseases representing a major public health problem. According to data from DataSUS, circulatory system diseases were the third leading cause of hospital admission in 2015 (1) . HF is a chronic disease responsible for the greatest number of hospitalizations within the group of circulatory system diseases (1) . An individual affected by a chronic disease such as HF experiences changes in their daily life which are caused by the disease itself (2) , such as changes related to the use of medicines (start taking, changing or increasing number of medications), frequent consultations and recurrent hospitalizations.Such changes to a patient's lifestyle directly influence their family members' living habits, who represent necessary support to the patient for better coping with the disease. It is known that caregivers directly and indirectly contribute to monitoring, maintenance and management of patient self-care (3) . Therefore, understanding psychosocial factors (depression, anxiety and stress) that may be present in family members and understanding the context in which the patient and family are inserted becomes important.It is known that family members may experience negative experiences/situations arising from care which encompass physical and psychological aspects. A study showed that family member caregivers present musculoskeletal and sleep disorders, fatigu...

“…These problems can be a result of lack of preparation for the provision of care, which predisposes to overload of muscles and joints, besides the involvement in patient care, which leads them to not pay attention to their own needs and personal limitations. 17 Of all the caregivers only two reported no religion and these in turn had average scores of welfare lower than others. Research states that participation in religious activities is considered as a support for most caregivers, because it provides subsidies to overcome obstacles and keep hopes.…”

Objective. To investigate the association between wellness and sociodemographic characteristics of caregivers of people with cancer. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Maringá, Paraná, Brazil, with 96 caregivers. Data were collected between July 2011 and February 2012. A global wellness assessment scale was used to measure wellness and data on sociodemographic characteristics were gathered using a complementary form. Results. The characteristics associated with reduced wellness among caregivers of people with cancer were: being separated, being a mother, having a higher education degree, being employed, being the sole caregiver, having a family income of up to one minimum wage and presenting health problems. Conclusion. Some demographic characteristics are associated with loss of wellness among these caregivers. Nurses must take this information into account when formulating strategies to improve the wellness of caregivers, considering their context.
