ABSTRACT

Objetivo general: determinar la prevalencia del síndrome de sobrecarga en cuidadores familiares de adultos mayores y su relación con factores asociados en el cantón Chordeleg, durante el año 2017. Material y métodos: es un estudio analítico transversal con 123 cuidado-res familiares. Se utilizó el cuestionario del Instituto Nacional de Estadís-ticas y Censos, test de Zarit, índice de Katz y test FF-SIL. Las variables fueron expresadas en porcentajes y en frecuencias absolutas. Los factores asociados fueron evaluados a través de la razón de prevalencia con inter-valo de confianza (95%) y el Chi cuadrado. Resultados: la mayor proporción de individuos tuvo 40 a 59 años de sexo femenino; el 73.17% son casados; el 40.65% tienen estudios primarios incompletos y en la relación con el paciente el 47.15% fueron hijos. El 58.50% de la población del estudio presentó sobrecarga, asociándose a tener más de 5 años como cuidador (RP 1.42 IC95% 1.07-1.88, p=0.003) y a la incapacidad severa y moderada del paciente (RP 2.46, IC95% 1.74 ­ 3.18, p=0.000).Conclusiones: el perfil del cuidador no difiere de otros estudios.Existió una alta prevalencia de síndrome de sobrecarga, asociándose a tener más de 5 años de cuidador y a la incapacidad moderada-severa del paciente.

The questionnaire of the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses, the Zarit test, the Katz index and the FF-SIL test were used. The variables were expressed in per-centages and absolute frequencies. The associated factors were evaluated through the Prevalence Ra-tio with a confidence interval (95%) and Chi square.Results: the highest proportion of individuals was between 40 and 59 years of age; the 73.17% are married; 40.65% had incomplete primary studies and in the relationship with the patient, the 47.15% were children. The 58.50% of the study population showed overload, they have been associated with having more than 5 years as a caregiver (RR 1.42 IC95% 1.07-1.88, p = 0.003) and the severe and moderate disability of the patient (RP 2.46, 95% CI 1.74-3.18, p = 0.000).Conclusions: the caregiver profile does not differ from other studies.
