Sobrecarga de cuidadores de personas con secuelas de accidente cerebrovascular

investigación transversal, exploratoria y cuantitativa, realizada con 151 cuidadores de personas con secuela de Accidente Cerebrovascular, mediante entrevistas domiciliares entre septiembre y diciembre de 2017.

Resultados:

ha sido verificado una media general de sobrecarga baja. Los ítems que indicaron peores cambios han sido: “Mi tiempo para actividades sociales con amigos”; “Mi tiempo para actividades de la familia”; “Mi capacidad de resistir al estrés”; y “Mi funcionamiento físico”. Hubo asociación de la sobrecarga con el sexo femenino y con cuidadores que cuidan a más tiempo.

Conclusiones:

los resultados permiten reflexionar sobre la necesidad de creación de una política vuelta para los cuidadores familiares que propone a la reducción del impacto de la prestación de cuidados.
