[Depression and burden in the caretaking of elderly].

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Informal care affects the quality of life and emotional health. Objective: To analyze the relationship between burden and depression in caregivers measured by Zarit's Scale and GHQ-28 and the global functional deterioration of the elderly measured by OARS-MFAQ. METHODS:Descriptive observational cross-sectional study in Primary Health Care at Ourense city. 104 people (>65 years old) and their caregivers were interviewed. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the characteristics that increase the probability to suffer burden and depression. RESULTS:82.7% of caregivers were women with an average age of 63.64 years (95% CI: 61.05-66.23) and 10.3% were over 80 years old. 32.2% had an overload, associated with taking care of younger people (p=0.043), being a couple of an elder (p=0.003) being older (p=0.031) and the risk of depression which were all found as factors associated with burden, measured by GHQ (p<0.001). Having good perception of the vision (p=0.038), rejecting the use of a cane (p=0.002) or wheelchair (p=0.015) were also associated with factors contributing to burden. CONCLUSIONS:Informal caregivers are women around their sixties, and although they do not feel overburdened for caring, they have depression, more likely the more severe the burden is, and it is related with the perception of economic deficiencies for the caring. OBJETIVO:Los cuidados informales afectan a la calidad de vida y a la salud emocional. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la relación entre la carga y la depresión en los cuidadores/as medida con Escala de Zarit y GHQ-28 y el deterioro funcional global del anciano medido mediante OARS-MFAQ. METODOS:Estudio transversal descriptivo por entrevistas a 104 personas mayores de 65 años y sus cuidadores/as informales en la ciudad de Ourense. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y una regresión logística de las variables que influyen en la depresión y la sobrecarga por cuidar ancianos. RESULTADOS:El 82,7% de cuidadores/as eran mujeres con edad media de 63,64 años (IC 95%: 61,05-66,23) y el 10,3% mayor de 80 años. El 32,2% presentaba sobrecarga encontrándose como factores asociados a la misma, cuidar de ancianos más jóvenes (p=0,043), ser pareja del anciano (p=0,003), tener mayor edad (p=0,031) y el riesgo de depresión medida con GHQ (p<0,001). Tener buena percepción de la visión (p=0,038), rechazar el uso de bastón (p=0,002) o silla de ruedas (p=0,015) también se asoció con la sobrecarga. CONCLUSIONES:Las cuidadoras informales son mujeres en torno a 60 años. Aunque no sientan sobrecarga por cuidar, tienen depresión, que es más probable cuanto más severa es la carga y esta se relaciona con la percepción de carencias económicas básicas para el cuidado.
