ResumoTrata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo com abordagem quantitativa, com população configurada como censitária. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Inventário dos Sintomas de Estresse para Adultos de Lipp (ISSL), a Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF), a Versão Brasileira do Questionário de Qualidade de Vida SF-36 e o Questionário de Avaliação da Sobrecarga do Cuidador Informal (QASCI). Possui o objetivo de avaliar a sobrecarga, a qualidade de vida e a presença de estresse em cuidadores das Estratégias de Saúde da Família (ESFs) de Criciúma, no Estado de Santa Catarina. A maior proporção dos cuidadores foram do gênero feminino (90,9%), com idade média de 51,7 (±11,0) Em relação ao grau de parentesco, 45,5% eram filhos(as), e a MIF Global dos sujeitos ao qual era dedicado o cuidado foi de 70,2 (±40,1). Entre os cuidadores, 81,8% apresentaram presença de estresse e evidenciaram sobrecarga elevada. Foi observada uma correlação positiva moderada (rs=0,571) entre a MIF Global e Dor (SF-36), considerada estatisticamente significativa (p=0,001). Voltar à atenção aos cuidadores, entendendo as barreiras físicas, sociais e emocionais envolvidas no ato de cuidar, torna-se imprescindível no âmbito da saúde coletiva, tanto para proporcionar maior qualidade de vida e menor sobrecarga nos cuidadores quanto a quem é cuidado.
These results indicate that the impairment of memory and learning, demonstrated 10 days after the induction of sepsis, persist 30 days after the CLP. The cognitive impairments did not persist after 60 days suggesting that this model can help in the understanding of the biological mechanisms associated with sepsis-induced sickness behavior.
OBJECTIVEAnalyzing the quality of sleep of hypertensive patients registered in the national registration system and monitoring of hypertensive patients.METHODSA cross-sectional study of quantitative and descriptive analyses with 280 hypertensive patients registered in the National Program of Hypertension and Diabetes of the Federal Government in the months from August to October 2011.
