“…Caregivers have been found to be family members, female, usually the daughter or wife of the elderly person receiving care, and aged between 50 and 60 years, according to Brazilian 23,24 and international studies 14,25,26 . The majority of caregivers have an unfinished elementary education 4,23 -25 , are unemployed or dedicate themselves solely to domestic activities 24 .…”

Objective: to analyze the profile of a population of caregivers from a city in a rural area of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and identify their health complaints and the characteristics of care provided. Method: a prospective cross-sectional study was performed based on a domicile survey of 99 caregivers and their elderly care recipients. Information about the profile, context of care and health complaints of the caregivers was collected. The caregivers responded to the Zarit Burden Inventory and the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 and the elderly underwent a cognition and functionality assessment. The chi-squared test with odds ratio (OR) was performed to test associations. Result: the majority of the caregivers were women (n=76), elderly (n=83), with a median age 65.8 (±10.4) years and 4.9 (±4.2) years of formal schooling. The most frequent health complaints were pain, systemic hypertension, insomnia, back problems and vision problems. The elderly care recipients were men (n=75), with an average age of 72.0 (±8.2) years. Analysis of associations revealed that caregivers who received emotional support had a lower chance of being highly overburdened (OR=0.37; CI95% 0.15-0.90). Caring for over five years was associated with arthritis (OR=2.50; CI95% 1.0-6.56). Caring of an elderly person with cognitive impairment was strongly associated with peripheral vascular diseases (OR=2.70; CI95% 1.11-6.85) and other diseases (OR=6.94; CI95% 1.43-33.63). Conclusion: A better understanding of the reality of care in rural and remote areas and the identification of factors related to the health care of caregivers provides better care management for the elderly and caregivers, who themselves are aging.

“…The authors suggested that in a family context, elderly individuals may benefit from the presence of a more resilient caregier. 25 In Spain, Fernández-Lansac et al 26 assessed a sample of 53 caregivers who worked with patients with dementia. In total, 66% of these caregivers were female, while the mean age was 63.1 years.…”

“…The authors concluded that resilience is associated with better physical and emotional conditions and the capacity to deal with adverse situations. 26 In Canada, O'Rourke et al 27 used a longitudinal study to analyze resilience (assessed through perceived control, life commitment and the challenge versus stability ratio) as a predictor of depressive symptoms among married caregivers over the course of a year (mean age of 69 years). In total, 58 of the caregivers were wives of individuals with (probable) Alzheimer's, while 47 of the caregivers were husbands of patients.…”

Background: Resilience is the ability of individuals or groups to overcome adversity without displaying physical or mental disorders, or even learning to deal with unfavorable conditions more efficiently. There have been many studies on resilience, which try to identify the conditions under which people in situations of deprivation or adversity overcome such challenges. Objective: The present article aimed to identify factors associated the with development of resilience in family caregivers of people with dementia and the possible outcomes of resilience for the caregiver and receiver of care. Method: The study consisted of a systematic literature review carried out in accordance with the PRISMA methodology with searches in the Lilacs, PsycInfo, PubMed, SciELO, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases, using pre-established descriptors. Results: After synthesis of the extracted data and the considerations of this review, it was possible to identify possible factors associated with the development of resilience in family caregivers of persons with dementia: depression, anxiety, burden, drug use, the relationship with the person receiving care and health conditions are associated with the resilience of family caregivers. Conclusion: We found in literature that the development of resilience by family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's is influenced by factors related to the patient and the caregiver himself or herself.

“…Los cuidadores pertenecientes a las AFA recibían más ayuda (63,3% vs. 36,0%) y en consecuencia percibían un mayor apoyo social, lo que coincide con otros estudios realizados en el contexto de AFA [26,30], que mostraron que los CFEA que pertenecen a AFA e instituciones relacionadas con los EA y sus cuidadores reciben una mayor ayuda para asistir al enfermo tanto por parte de otros familiares como por parte de las propias asociaciones.…”

“…La elevada carga obtenida en el grupo AFA también ha sido observada en otros estudios con muestras obtenidas en asociaciones de cuidadores [26,30,31] y podría explicarse por el hecho de que los cuidadores más sobrecargados son los que buscan ayuda en los recursos formales [32]. Diversas investigaciones han relacionado los síntomas conductuales y psicológicos asociados a la enfermedad de Alzheimer (SCPD) con el aumento de los niveles de sobrecarga de los cuidadores y para disminuir la frecuencia o intensidad de los sínto-mas cognitivos y psicológicos de la demencia es necesario recurrir a ayuda profesional [12,13].…”
