“…The median CarerQoL-7D score (83.7) found in this study is similar to that in earlier CarerQoL-7D studies [ 31 , 32 ]. Hoefman et al and Van Dam and colleagues examined the CarerQoL (79.1 and 83.9, respectively) of informal caregivers in a heterogeneous patient population that was representative of the Dutch population.…”

BackgroundReforms in the Dutch healthcare system in combination with the aging of the population will lead to a strong increase in the demand for informal care in the Netherlands. A hip fracture is one of the most important causes of hospital admissions among frail elderly and informal caregivers experience stress that may have significantly negative impact on the caregivers’ Quality of Life. The purpose of the study was to determine the nature, intensity and the care-related Quality of Life (CarerQoL) of informal caregivers of elderly patients in the first six months after a hip fracture. In this cross-sectional study, were interviewed the primary informal caregivers of patients with a hip fracture about the informal care provided after one, three or six months following the injury. The CarerQoL of the informal caregivers was measured with the CarerQoL-7D instrument.ResultsIn total, 123 primary informal caregivers were included. The CarerQoL-7D score was on average 83.7 (SD 15.0) after one, three and six months, and there were no major differences between the measurement time points. The average amount of informal care provided per patient per week was 39.5 during the first six months.Partners of patients with a hip fracture provided significantly more hours of informal care (β 34.0; 95% CI: 20.9 – 47.1). Female informal caregivers stated a significantly lower level of CarerQoL (β -7.8; 95% CI: -13.3 – -2.3). Female caregivers were 3.0 times more likely to experience relational problems (aOR 3.02; 95% CI 1.08-8.43). Caregivers provided care at 6 months were associated with physical health problems (aOR 2.54; 95% CI 1.05-6.14).ConclusionsInformal caregivers, especially partners, are faced with providing care of greater intensity to elderly patients during the first six months after a hip fracture. The CarerQoL was not associated with the intensity of the provided informal care. However, this study shows that a considerable group of informal caregivers for elderly patients with a hip fracture experienced relational, physical and mental health problems that stemmed from providing intensive informal care during the first six months.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s41687-018-0048-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

O crescimento da população idosa é uma realidade atual e é consequência de um processo de transição demográfica eepidemiológica. O idoso com seu estado de saúde comprometido precisará da ajuda de um cuidador, geralmente alguémda família, na maioria das vezes em tempo integral, o que poderá gerar uma sobrecarga que comprometerá sua qualidadede vida. Objetiva-se analisar a produção científica à cerca da qualidade de vida dos cuidadores de idosos. Trata-se de umarevisão integrativa da literatura, cuja busca foi realizada nos indexadores LILACS, PubMed, CINAHL e Scopus. Foram analisados 18 artigos, nos quais a maioria dos estudos eram transversais. Quanto à população dos estudos, a maior parte dosartigos analisou cuidadores de idosos com Alzheimer. Os principais resultados para influenciadores na qualidade de vidados cuidadores: depressão; má qualidade do sono; dificuldades de apoio, suporte social, financeiro, físico e na divisão detarefas; falta de lazer e atividade física; problemas de saúde pré-existentes nos cuidadores; e características sócio demográficas. Através do conhecimento das variáveis que interferem na qualidade de vida dos cuidadores, pôde-se compreendercomo e o quanto essa qualidade de vida é afetada e assim projetar intervenções para melhorar a vivência dos cuidadores.Palavras - chave: cuidadores; idoso; qualidade de vida.
