Resumo: Objective: to evaluate the clinical and functional vulnerability of elderly caregivers of older adults with Alzheimer’s disease. Methods: it was a cross-sectional study with elderly caregivers registered in an Alzheimer’s Patient Care Association. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Clinical-Functional Vulnerability Index-20 were used for data collection, which were analyzed using R statistical software, Spearman’s correlation, and Somers’ D. Results: 31 elderly caregivers participated, mostly women, aged between 60 and 74 years, married, with low schooling, and taking care of the spouse. A greater risk of vulnerability related to self-perceived health, cognition and mood was identified. Functionality in daily activities, communication, mobility, and multiple comorbidities was preserved. Conclusion: most elderly caregivers were at risk of frail, which did not stop them from providing care for the relative with Alzheimer’s. Professionals and institutions should work to prevent the functional decline of these elderly caregivers.

Métodos: estudo transversal, realizada com idosos cuidadores, cadastrados em Associação de Assistência a Doente de Alzheimer. Utilizou-se de questionário sociodemográfico e do Índice de Vulnerabilidade Clínico-Funcional-20 itens, para coleta de dados, os quais foram analisados por meio do software R, utilizando-se de porcentagem, correlação de Spearman e D de Somer. Resultados: participaram 31 idosos cuidadores, maioria mulheres, com idades entre 60 e 74 anos, casadas, baixa escolaridade e que prestavam cuidado ao cônjuge. Identificou-se maior risco de vulnerabilidade relacionada à autopercepção de saúde, cognição e humor. Funcionalidade preservada nas funções executivas, comunicação, mobilidade e comorbidades múltiplas. Conclusão: a maioria dos idosos cuidadores apresentou risco de fragilização, porém realizam o cuidado ao familiar com Alzheimer. Profissionais e instituições devem atuar na prevenção do declínio funcional desses cuidadores idosos.Universidade Federal do Ceará2019-07-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEstudo transversalapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/4085110.15253/2175-6783.20192040851Rev Rene; Vol 20 (2019): Rev Rene; e40851Rev Rene; v. 20 (2019): Rev Rene; e408512175-67831517-3852reponame:Rev Rene (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)instacron:UFCporenghttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/40851/99004http://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/40851/99005Copyright (c) 2019 Rev Renehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarbosa, Maria Emilia MarcondesBertelli, Ellen Vanusa MartinsScolari, Giovana Aparecida de SouzaBortolanza, Marciane Conti ZornitaHigarashi, Ieda HarumiCarreira, Lígia2020-05-28T15:34:47Zoai:periodicos.ufc:article/40851Revistahttp://periodicos.ufc.br/renePUBhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/oairene@ufc.br||2175-67831517-3852opendoar:2020-05-28T15:34:47Rev Rene (Online) - Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)false
