0102/2021 - O lugar do cuidador familiar de idosos com doença de Alzheimer: uma revisão de literatura no Brasil e Estados Unidos The place of family caregivers for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease: a literature review in Brazil and the United States
Apresenta-se uma revisão de literatura sobre cuidadores familiares de pacientes com a doença de Alzheimer no período de 2013 a 2017 disponíveis nas bases de dados BVS, Scopus e Pubmed. Descritores utilizados: doença de Alzheimer, cuidadores, saúde do idoso, por combinação. Dos 163 artigos analisados, após aplicação do teste de relevancia,foram selecionados 26 artigos apresentados a partir de cinco unidades temáticas: 1- Revisões de literatura; 2- Perfis de prevalencia dos cuidadores de DA; 3-Pesquisas qualitativas que analisam os sentimentos e sofrimentos dos cuidadores; 4- Estudos comparativos e testes objetivos; 5-Pesquisas de avaliação de programas de intervenção. A análise compreensiva e comparativa das investigações demarcou diferenças e semelhanças, vantages e desvantagens das amostras e metodologias adotadas no Brasil e Estado Unidos. Os artigos analisaram fatores que influenciam o impacto sobre cuidadores familiares com doença de Alzheimer, situando os laços afetivos envolvidos, a reciprocidade esperada, os custos físicos, emocionais e sociais associados a uma doença crônica prolongada e de exigência de cuidados cada vez mais complexos. Verificou-se que o cuidador familiar tanto quanto as pessoas idosas com DA demandam uma ampla rede de suporte, acessível ou articulada, dentro e fora da família.
