Resumo: | Introduction: Currently, the demographic and epidemiological changes experienced in Portugal made it an aging country leading to the need to take care of dependent people. The informal caregiver is assumed as a fundamental element, with increased responsibilities in caring for the elderly who is in a dependence situation. Objective: To Identify the problems experienced and or the difficulties perceived by informal caregivers of dependent people. Methods: A cross-sectional and analytical study was performed. The sample consisted of 77 informal caregivers. Most of them were female (88.3%) with age ranging from 22 to 96 years (Mean±SD of 57.03 ± 13.52 years). Married caregivers were 84.4% of the sample and 70.1% of them lived in the countryside. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic variables for caregivers and the dependent person, the Carers Advisory of Difficulties Index (CADI) to identify informal caregiver needs. The Barthel Index was used to identify the degree of dependence. Results: It was found that 32.5% of the individuals were totally dependent, 27.2% with mild dependence, 22.1% with severe dependence, and 18.2% with moderate dependence. Thus, it was noted that 72.8% of individuals presented with moderate to high dependence. Informal caregivers manifested as their main difficulties, the relational problems, reactions to care, physical demands, restrictions on social life, unsupportive family, little professional support, and financial problems. Conclusions: Informal caregivers perceived some difficulties, which were consequences of caring for the dependent person. We highlighted the dimensions ‘Reactions to care delivery’, ‘Physical requirements in care delivery’, and ‘Relational problems with the dependent person’ as the most critical ones |

O cuidador informal se assume como um elemento fundamental, com responsabilidades acrescidas no cuidar dos idosos que se encontram em situação de dependência. Objetivo: Identificar os problemas experienciados / dificuldades percebidas pelos cuidadores informais de pessoas dependentes. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo transversal e analítico. O estudo decorreu entre janeiro e novembro de 2018 na cidade de Viseu, Portugal. A amostra foi constituída por 77 cuidadores informais, sendo a maioria do gênero feminino (88,3%), com idades compreendidas entre 22 e 96 anos (média de 57,03 ± 13,52 anos), 84,4% dos cuidadores eram casados/união de fato e 70,1% viviam no meio rural. Os dados foram recolhidos por meio de um questionário constituído por variáveis sociodemográficas, referentes aos cuidadores e à pessoa dependente, pelo carers assessment of difficulties index (CADI) para identificar as necessidades do cuidador informal e pelo índice de Barthel para identificar o grau de dependência. Resultados: Verificou-se que 32,5% dos indivíduos eram totalmente dependentes, 27,2% com dependência leve, 22,1% com dependência elevada e 18,2% com dependência moderada, totalizando 72,8% dos indivíduos da amostra com dependência moderada a elevada. Os cuidadores informais manifestaram como principais dificuldades os problemas relacionais, reações à prestação de cuidados, exigências de ordem física, restrições na vida social, deficiente apoio familiar, deficiente apoio profissional e os problemas financeiros. Conclusões: De acordo com os resultados verificamos que as dificuldades mais percecionadas pelos cuidadores informais estão relacionadas com as dimensões ‘Reações à prestação de cuidados’; ‘Exigências de ordem física na prestação de cuidados’ e ‘Problemas relacionais com a pessoa dependente’.Veritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaAmaral, Maria Odete PereiraMatos, Nuno Alexandre Marques deVeiga, Nelio JorgeMatos, Dulce Sofia Marques Pereira de2021-03-15T15:01:21Z2020-12-112020-12-11T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/32198por2318-369110.17696/2318-3691.27.1.2020.1710info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:37:39Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/32198Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:25:59.250295Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
