Abstract:

Studies have investigated the factors associated with the burden of family caregivers of psychiatric patients but not by gender. This study investigated the factors associated with subjective burden in groups of men and women caregivers, analyzed separately. Participated in the study 50 men and 50 women family caregivers of psychiatric patients who answered the question of the Family Burden Interview Schedule (FBIS-BR) and a standardized sociodemographic data questionnaire. The results showed that different factors were associated with subjective burden in men and women groups. In the female group, the predictors of greater degree of subjective burden were: no children at home, greater number of people living with the family, the patient not performing activities outside the home, the presence of comorbidity and greater number of patients’ problematic behaviors. For men, the associated variables were: the family caregiver not living with the patient, having income, reporting illness resulting from the caregiver’s role, number of children of the family caregiven, the patient not having a single room at home, patient’s age, physical illness and amount of drugs taken by the patient. These results point to the need for differential strategies in the family interventions developed by the mental health services.
