Resumo:
Estudos têm avaliado os fatores associados à sobrecarga dos familiares cuidadores de pacientes psiquiátricos sem investigá-los por gênero. A presente pesquisa visou identificar os fatores associados à sobrecarga subjetiva de grupos de homens e mulheres, analisados separadamente. Participaram da pesquisa 50 homens e 50 mulheres cuidadores de pacientes psiquiátricos que responderam às questões da Escala de Avaliação da Sobrecarga dos Familiares de Pacientes Psiquiátricos (FBIS-BR) e a um questionário sociodemográfico. Os resultados mostraram que diferentes fatores estiveram associados à sobrecarga subjetiva em cada grupo. No grupo de mulheres, os fatores preditores de maior sobrecarga foram: ausência de crianças em casa, maior número de pessoas morando com o familiar, o paciente não desempenhar atividades fora de casa, presença de comorbidade e maior número de comportamentos problemáticos dos pacientes. No grupo de homens, os fatores associados foram: o familiar não morar com o paciente, possuir renda, relatar doença resultante do papel de cuidador, maior número de filhos do familiar, o paciente não possuir quarto individual na casa, ter doença física, idade do paciente e quantidade de medicamentos ingeridos pelo paciente. Estes resultados apontam para a necessidade de se adotar abordagens diferenciadas para cada grupo nas ações desenvolvidas pelos serviços de saúde mental.

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.
