ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar si las sobrecargas objetivas sobre familiares cuidadores de pacientes esquizofrénicos inciden en un menor nivel de apoyo a dichos pacientes. Materiales y métodos: Se encuestó a 61 familiares adultos responsables del cuidado de pacientes esquizofrénicos, a través de una entrevista personal. La encuesta evaluó tanto las cargas objetivas agregadas a la familia al asumir el cuidado del paciente como el apoyo que la familia le brinda. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron que la mayor parte de las familias entrega un alto grado de apoyo al paciente, al mismo tiempo que las cargas objetivas que se agregan a la familia son de nivel moderado. Se encontró una correlación negativa significativa, que explica un 12% de la varianza entre ambas variables. Conclusión: Se concluye que efectivamente una mayor carga familiar se asocia con un menor nivel de apoyo a los pacientes.
