Resumo: The objective of this study was to build an instrument to assess the level of difficulties perceived by caregivers for the elderly. Methods: cross-sectional study, semi-structured interview carried out with informal caregivers for the elderly. In the first phase of this study, a semi-structured interview was conducted with the first sample of informal caregivers. From these results, an assessment instrument of level of difficulty felt by the informal caregiver while performing the care was built. In the second phase, the instrument was used with the second sample of informal caregivers to assess its internal consistency through Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. Results: the instrument was constituted by eleven domains and forty-eight items. Each item was to be ranked from 1 to 5, representing the best and the worst score, respectively. Internal Consistency analysis of the instrument was performed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The Cronbach's alpha values revealed a good internal consistency to the eleven domains of the instrument, with the coefficient ranging from .74 to 1.00. These values are considered good or even excellent. The total Cronbach's Alpha coefficient value of this instrument is .98. Conclusion: the analysis of the Cronbach's alpha values showed good internal consistency for the eleven domains of the instrument, i.e., the answers on the instrument are coherent with its questions. The assessment instrument reached its go in assessing the difficulty informal caregivers feel when caring for the elderly. It is recommended that the instrument is reproduced in a target population representative for external validity.

Métodos: estudio transversal, entrevista semiestructurada llevada a cabo con cuidadores informales para personas mayores. En la primera fase de este estudio, se realizó una entrevista semiestructurada con la primera muestra de cuidadores informales. A partir de estos resultados, se construyó un instrumento de evaluación del nivel de dificultad que sintió el cuidador informal al realizar la atención. En la segunda fase, el instrumento se utilizó con la segunda muestra de cuidadores informales para evaluar su consistencia interna a través del coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: el instrumento estuvo constituido por once dominios y cuarenta y ocho ítems. Cada ítem debía clasificarse de 1 a 5, lo que representa el puntaje mejor y el peor, respectivamente. El análisis de consistencia interna del instrumento se realizó utilizando el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Los valores alfa de Cronbach revelaron una buena consistencia interna en los once dominios del instrumento, con un coeficiente que oscila entre .74 y 1.00. Estos valores se consideran buenos o incluso excelentes. El valor total del coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de este instrumento es .98. Conclusión: el análisis de los valores alfa de Cronbach mostró una buena consistencia interna para los once dominios del instrumento, es decir, las respuestas en el instrumento son coherentes con sus preguntas. El instrumento de evaluación llegó a su fin para evaluar la dificultad que sienten los cuidadores informales al cuidar a los ancianos. Se recomienda que el instrumento se reproduzca en un representante de población objetivo para la validez externa.  O objetivo deste estudo foi construir um instrumento para avaliar o nível de dificuldade percebido pelos cuidadores para com os idosos. Como métodos, estudo transversal, entrevista semiestruturada realizada com cuidadores informais de idosos. Na primeira fase deste estudo, foi realizada uma entrevista semiestruturada com a primeira amostra de cuidadores informais. A partir desses resultados, foi construído um instrumento de avaliação do nível de dificuldade sentido pelo cuidador informal durante a realização do cuidado. Na segunda fase, o instrumento foi utilizado com a segunda amostra de cuidadores informais, para avaliar sua consistência interna, por meio do coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach. Como resultados, o instrumento foi constituído por onze domínios e quarenta e oito itens. Cada item deveria ser classificado de 1 a 5, representando a melhor e a pior pontuação, respectivamente. A análise da Consistência Interna do Instrumento foi realizada por meio do coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach. Os valores do Alfa de Cronbach revelaram uma boa consistência interna para os onze domínios do instrumento, com o coeficiente variando de 0,74 a 1,00. Esses valores são considerados bons ou até excelentes. O valor do coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach total deste instrumento é de 0,98. Concluindo, a análise dos valores do alfa de Cronbach mostrou boa consistência interna para os onze domínios do instrumento, ou seja, as respostas no instrumento são coerentes com suas questões. O instrumento de avaliação chegou a avaliar a dificuldade que os cuidadores informais sentem quando cuidam dos idosos. Recomenda-se que o instrumento seja reproduzido em uma população-alvo representativa de validade externa. Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2018-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/3802210.23925/2176-901X.2018v21i1p93-106Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 21 n. 1 (2018); 93-1062176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPenghttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/38022/25754Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Kairós : Gerontologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRocha Júnior, Paulo RobertoRocha, Aila Narene Dahwache CriadoTrevisan, Iara BuriolaCorrente, José Eduardo2019-08-21T17:33:06Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/38022Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2019-08-21T17:33:06Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
