Sobrecarga em cuidadores informais de doentes com Alzheimer

Abstract

A Doença de Alzheimer exige uma demanda de cuidados assumidos pelo cuidador, levando a uma elevada sobrecarga. Este estudo pretendeu compreender as variáveis que se relacionam, predizem e moderam a sobrecarga de cuidadores de doentes com Alzheimer, nos estádios moderado e avançado. Participaram neste estudo 102 cuidadores que responderam às versões portuguesas de: Burden Interview Scale, Carer’s Assessment of Managing Index, Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale-Revised, Family Disruption from Illness Scale, Revised Impact of Events Scale e Revised Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist. Cuidadores mais velhos, do sexo feminino, menos escolarizados, filhos e cônjuges dos doentes, sem ajuda na prestação de cuidados, que despendem mais horas no cuidado diário, com maiores níveis de sintomatologia física e traumática, que adotam menos estratégias de coping eficazes, que recorrem menos ao mindfulness e identificam mais problemas de memória e comportamento nos doentes, apresentam maiores níveis de sobrecarga. A sintomatologia física, sintomatologia traumática, o coping e o mindfulness previram a sobrecarga do cuidador e a duração dos cuidados foi moderadora da relação entre o coping e a sobrecarga. Assim, é importante intervir nesta população particularmente nos cuidadores mais velhos e com menor escolaridade no sentido de diminuir a sua sobrecarga.
