Resumo: The current study aimed to advance on the understanding of the relationship between affective temperaments and the care of cancer in patients by examining the prevalence of temperament types and the associations of these variables with measures of psychological well-being and caregivers burden in a sample of primary caregivers. 53 caregivers (45 women) participated voluntarily and answered questionnaires that assessed variables related to socio-demographic and temperament characteristics, psychological well-being, and caregiving burden. Results showed a higher prevalence of stable affective temperaments (euthymic, hyperthymic and obsessive) among the assessed caregivers (56.6%) and these types showed better psychological adjustment indicators in specific domains of wellbeing and perceived caregivers burden (t> 2.0; p <0.05). Caregivers with stable temperament have better psychological adjustment and temperament seems to be an important variable in the designation of the person who will face the role of primary caregiver of a cancer patient.Keywords: temperament, primary caregiver, cancer, psychological well-being, psychological assessment.

Participaram do estudo 53 cuidadores (45 mulheres) que responderam voluntariamente a questionários que avaliavam indicadores sócio-demográficos, temperamentais e pertinentes ao bem-estar psicológico e à sobrecarga relacionada ao cuidado do paciente. Os resultados mostraram maior prevalência de temperamentos estáveis entre os cuidadores avaliados (56,6%) e que os tipos estáveis apresentaram associações positivas com bem-estar psicológico e percepção de sobrecarga relacionada ao cuidado de pacientes (t > 2,0; p < 0,05). Cuidadores com temperamento estável apresentam melhores indicadores de ajustamento psicológico, e o temperamento parece ser uma variável importante na designação da pessoa que assumirá o papel do cuidador principal do paciente oncológico.Palavras-chave: temperamento, cuidador principal, pacientes oncológicos, bem-estar psicológico, avaliação psicológica.Unisinos2016-05-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/article/view/ctc.2016.92.0310.4013/ctc.2016.92.03Contextos Clínicos; v. 9 n. 2 (2016): Jul-Dez; 168-1771983-3482reponame:Contextos Clínicosinstname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/article/view/ctc.2016.92.03/5655Ferreira, Renata AlexandreIgnachewski, Suzane Busattade Carvalho, Hudson W.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-01-11T18:44:11Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/9974Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicosPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/oaidfalcke@unisinos.br||periodicos@unisinos.br1983-34821983-3482opendoar:2017-01-11T18:44:11Contextos Clínicos - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
