0012/2018 - Avaliação da sobrecarga do cuidador de pacientes neurológicos cadeirantes adultos. Assessment of the caregiver burden of wheelchair-bound adult patients with neurological alterations.
O objetivo foi avaliar fatores que influenciam na sobrecarga dos cuidadores informais de pacientes neurológicos cadeirantes adultos. Foram entrevistados 16 cuidadores informais de pacientes neurológicos cadeirantes adultos, utilizando para avaliar a sobrecarga dos cuidadores a escala Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) e coletados os dados de cuidar e sociodemográficos dos cuidadores, os dados socioeconômicos e o grau de independência funcional dos pacientes neurológicos cadeirantes adultos. Para análise dos dados foram utilizados os testes T-students, ANOVA Unifatorial com método de Tukey e Coeficiente de Correlação de Pearson. Resultados: foram associados, menor grau de escolaridade do cuidador (p-valor=0,01) e menor nível de informação da patologia acometida (p-valor=0,01), com maiores sobrecargas do cuidador. O suporte terapêutico e social dado pelas instituições de apoio, como a Clínica/Escola de Fisioterapia da CEUNSP, demonstrou ser importante para auxiliar os cuidadores a enfrentar situações de forma mais tranquila. O conhecimento de fatores que podem influenciar a sobrecarga dos cuidadores é importante para o planejamento e a intervenção desse público específico.

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.
