Abstract:

The objective was to evaluate factors that influence the burden of informal caregivers of wheelchair-bound adult patients with neurological alterations. 16 informal caregivers of wheelchair-bound adult patients with neurological alterations were evaluated, using to evaluate the caregivers burden the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) scale, along with data on the care and social of the caregivers, and data on the social, economic and degree of functional independence of the wheelchair-bound adults patients with neurological alterations. The Student’s t-test, One-way ANOVA with Tukey method and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient were used for data analysis. Results: were associated, lower education level of the caregiver (p = 0.01) and lower level of information of the affected pathology (p-value = 0.01), to a heavier caregiver burden. The therapeutic support and social provided by institutions of the support, such as the Clinic/School Physiotherapy of the CEUNSP, evidence to be too important to help carers to deal with situations so more quiet. Understanding the factors that influence the caregiver burden is important for planning and intervention that specific group.
