“…Un estudio sobre la calidad de vida de cuidadores familiares de pacientes con cáncer, encontró un promedio de edad de 44,4 años, con predominio del género femenino además del estado civil casado (12). Diversos estudios corroboran el predominio del género femenino considerando el rol del cuidado perteneciente a la mujer por factores culturales y propios de la historia del cuidado (8)(9)(10)(11)15).…”

“…Respecto a los años de escolaridad e ingreso económico, los hallazgos corroboran con estudios internacionales (8,12,15). Cabe señalar, que la educación e ingreso económico actúan con los intermediarios explicando las condiciones sociales que se traducen en las consecuencias para la salud y calidad de vida de las mismas (20).…”

“…La asociación significativa entre estado civil y comorbilidades con el componente de salud mental demostró que ser viudo y tener antecedentes mórbidos redujo el puntaje de las escalas de salud mental. La evidencia demuestra mejor calidad de vida a los cuidadores casados (15,19).…”

“…Investigaciones han caracterizado los cuidadores en cuanto a sus determinantes sociales de la salud y, se ha demostrado el predominio de mujeres con cifras desde un 80% hasta un 91,4% (14), con medias de edad mayor que 40 años (11)(12), en su mayoría sin actividad laboral formal remunerada y con estudios básicos (14)(15). En cuanto a la relación de estas variables con la calidad de vida, un estudio evidenció una peor calidad de vida en las mujeres y estar al cuidado de personas mayores de 60 años (16).…”

Determinantes sociales de salud, sobrecarga familiar y calidad de vida de cuidadores familiares de pacientes oncológicos en cuidados paliativos Social determinants of health, family overload and quality of life in family caregivers of cancer patients receiving palliative care Maria C. Toffoletto y Katiuska L. Reynaldos-Grandón Recibido 14 agosto 2018 / Enviado para modificación 16 diciembre 2018 / Aceptado 10 febrero 2019 RESUMENObjetivo Determinar cuales factores estructurales e intermediarios y sobrecarga familiar explican la calidad de vida de cuidadores familiares de pacientes con cáncer en cuidados paliativos desde el Modelo de Determinantes en Salud de la Organización Mundial de Salud (OMS). Materiales y MétodosEstudio analítico, transversal con una muestra no probabilística de 212 cuidadores familiares de pacientes oncológicos. La variable calidad de vida fue medida a través de la escala Short-form Healthy Survey (SF-36 v.2). Para el análisis descriptivo se utilizaron frecuencias relativas, medias y desviaciones estándar. Para analizar el efecto de los determinantes estructurales e intermediarios y la sobrecarga sobre la calidad de vida, se estimaron diferentes modelos de regresión lineal. Estos modelos se calcularon con errores estándares robustos para lidiar con posibles problemas con el supuesto de heterocedasticidad.Resultados Los mejores niveles de salud correspondieron a la función física con una media de 86,9 puntos, mientras que la función social reportó una media de 51,4. Las variables estructurales e intermediarias, para el caso de la salud física y mental, presentaron una relación estadísticamente significativa con el género y sobrecarga del cuidador. Ser viudo disminuyó en 13,4 puntos la escala de salud mental en relación a las personas casadas y tener antecedentes mórbidos, redujo en 9,5 puntos la escala de salud mental. Conclusiones Se identificó principalmente que el género femenino y sobrecarga afectan la calidad de vida y salud de los cuidadores. Se sugiere el desarrollo de estudios con enfoque a la persona con cáncer, género y sobrecarga del cuidador.Palabras Clave: Determinantes sociales de la salud; cuidadores; cuidados paliativos; instituciones oncológicas; servicio de oncología en hospital (fuente: DeCS, BIREME). ABSTRACT ObjectiveTo determine which structural, intermediary, and family overload factors explain the quality of life of family caregivers of cancer patients receiving palliative care based on the Determinants of Health proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Materials and MethodsAnalytical, cross-sectional study with a non-probabilistic sample of 212 family caregivers of cancer patients. The variable 'quality of life' was measured using the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36 v.2). For the descriptive analysis, relative frequencies, means and standard deviations were used. To analyze the effect of structural and intermediary determinants and overload on quality of life, different linear regression models were estimated. These models were calculated with robust ...

Objective:To verify the association between the level of comfort of the caregiver and socio-demographic variables related to caregiving, and the patient’s functional status and symptoms. Method:Cross-sectional study with non-probabilistic intentional sample. The instruments Palliative Performance Scale (score 0 to 100%), Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (symptom scores from zero to ten) and Holistic Comfort Questionnaire (total score ranging from 49 to 294 and mean score from 1 to 6) were used. The relationship between comfort scores and independent variables was calculated by multiple linear regression. Results:Fifty informal caregivers participated in the study - 80% were female, 32% were 60 years old or older, 36% were children of the patient, 58% had paid work and 60% did not have help in the care. The mean overall comfort was 4.52 points. A better functional status of the patients was associated with higher levels of comfort of the caregivers. Older caregivers who received helped in the care activities presented higher comfort scores. Conclusion:The level of comfort of caregivers of cancer patients receiving palliative care was associated with socio-demographic variables and patients’ functional status and symptoms.

To identify the self-care capacity of cancer clients treated at the chemotherapy service of a university hospital in Minas Gerais/Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study conducted with 79 adult and elderly participants diagnosed with primary cancer on antineoplastic chemotherapy treatment. Two instruments were used to achieve the proposed objective, one created by the authors for sociodemographic characterization and another translated, adapted and validated to Brazilian Portuguese to assess the capacity of self-care, namely, the Appraisal of Self Care Agency Scale-Revised, the ASAS-R. Most respondents were female (50.6%), married (58.2%), had between five and nine years of schooling (43.0%), had a family income of one to three minimum wages (86.1%) and were predominantly elderly (54.4%). The mean score obtained for self-care capacity was 57.8. A dichotomy between the patients' usual chores and their diagnoses was observed, but the participants also stated that they dedicate time and were willing to take care of their health. They also stated that they looked for the best ways to take care of themselves and sought updated information whenever necessary, although no statistically significant association was found between self-care scores and sociodemographic variables. This study allowed to show that sociodemographic variables such as education, income, religion and cohabitation should be taken into account by health professionals to favor the client's engagement in self-care actions.
