“…Los cambios que el cuidado de un dependiente suponen en la situación personal, familiar, laboral y/o social actúan como factores que se relacionan con una mayor sobrecarga 15 . También se ha encontrado que, a su vez, la sobrecarga genera problemas, tanto físicos como psicológicos, que influyen en una peor salud de las cuidadoras16, 17, 18, 19, peor calidad de vida 20 , un mayor dolor percibido21, 22, además de socavar sus capacidades como cuidadoras23, 24. La probabilidad de padecer mala salud también aumenta cuando se dedica un número elevado de horas al cuidado 25 .…”

“…There are consistent findings in the carer literature about the relationship between particular features of the caregiving situation and anxiety. Such features include the level of physical impairment of the care recipient, the difficulty and frequency of tasks performed, and behavioural problems (Garcés et al 2008). In identifying stresses associated with care responsibilities, information and resources can be provided that will enhance the carer's health, such as safe lifting practices, stress management, and dealing with grief.…”

Reactions to caregiving and depression affect a carer's ability to continue in their caring role. This paper examines the relationship between reactions to caregiving and depression in carers of frail, older people and is a cross-sectional study of carers of community-living people (≥70years), identified as frail, who completed a postal questionnaire. Reactions to caregiving were evaluated using the Caregiver Reaction Assessment. Anxiety and depression symptoms were measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Borderline depressive symptoms were reported in 15% of carers, and 10% had abnormal depressive symptoms. Anxiety symptoms in the carers were slightly higher at 24% and 12%, respectively. Multiple regression indicated that the impact on carers' daily schedules (β=1.419, P= 0.001; β=1.162, P=0.025) and their health (β=1.509, P=0.007; β=1.850, P=0.006) as a result of caregiving explained 49% of the variance in carers' depressive symptoms (P<0.001) and 42% of the variance in their anxiety symptoms (P<0.001). Specific reactions to caregiving are important predictors of depressive and anxiety symptoms in carers of frail, older people. Regular carer support services and targeted health-care initiatives could alleviate or lessen negative reactions associated with caregiving, such as depression.
