“…In addition to the enormous impact on the affected individuals, economy, and society, dementia exerts a significant impact on family members, who represent the main source of the care provided to these people, especially in low-and middle-income countries 5 . Having the knowledge about dementia and mastery over its care is essential so that caregivers do not pose risks to the people cared for, increasing their quality of life and helping themselves to face the disease 6 .…”

The sense of mastery is conceptualized as a positive aspect of care targeted at people living with dementia, a coping mechanism to reduce burden, and may represent a protective factor for caregivers’ mental and physical health. Objective: To translate and culturally adapt the Pearlin Mastery Scale for Brazil. Methods: A methodological study was conducted at the Federal University of São Carlos in which the initial translation stages were followed; synthesis; back-translation; review by the committee of judges by analyzing the Content Validity Index (CVI); and test of the pre-final version. Results: Two specialists translated the scale into Brazilian Portuguese and defined a consensus version with the researchers. Subsequently, another two specialists back-translated the consensus version, which was reviewed by three judges who are PhDs in the area, considering all scale items as very equivalent (CVI=1.0), and maintaining them in the pre-final version of the instrument. This was tested in a first group of caregivers for them to point out adjustments. The suggestions were accepted by modifying three items and, afterward, the scale was tested in a second group, which did not present difficulties answering the instrument. Conclusion: The Pearlin Mastery Scale was translated and culturally adapted for Brazil, showing equivalence. However, future psychometric analyses of the instrument are required to make it available for use in this population.

Background:The longevity of the world population can contribute to an increase in hospitalizations, consequently, to the emergence of functional limitations, resulting in the need for an informal caregiver. Hospitalized elderly people may become dependent with greater demands for care provided, resulting in greater burden on the family caregiver. Objective:To analyze the association between the demographic variables of interest and self-rated health of family caregivers, as well as to describe the functionality of elderly people hospitalized in a university hospital in the Amazonian context.Methods: Cross-sectional, quantitative and observational study, carried out through individual interviews with 98 interviewees, divided into 49 family caregivers and 49 elderly people hospitalized in the surgical clinic sector of a university hospital. Demographic data and health conditions were collected from family caregivers and, to describe the functionality of hospitalized elderly people, the Barthel Index was applied. Descriptive and inferential analyzes were used, the t student tests were applied and for bivariate analysis the Pearson Correlation. A significance level of 5% was adopted.Results: Of the 49 family caregivers, there was a predominance of females (81.6%) with an average age of 46.9 (±13.3) years, single (57.1%) with complete average education (53.1% ) who care for their parents (51%). Regarding health conditions, respondents self-assess their health as good (P < .01), they consider that their health status was not affected by the provision of care (P < .01). There was a significant association between demographic variables (gender, age and education) and selfassessment of informal caregivers (P < .01, P < .01 and P < .05, respectively). Of the 49 elderly people hospitalized, the majority were men (63.2%) with a mean age of 69.2 (±7.12) years. Regarding the assessment of functionality, most were classified as mild dependence on care (46.9%), specifically in the age group between 60 and 69 (67.8%). Conclusions:The data reveal that feminization, age and education of family caregivers contribute favorably to the provision of care to hospitalized elderly people with a lower degree of functional dependence.
