“…They interfere with the caregivers' ability to meet the patient demands, due to overload and negative impact on their quality of life. (6)(7)(8) Strategies to reduce caregivers' stress include providing opportunities for them to either become familiar with care actions or increase their skills. Nkongho defines the ability of caregivers to care as being the "potential of the adult person who assumes the role of primary caregiver of a family member or significant person who is in a situation of disabling chronic disease."…”

Objective: Describe the cross-cultural adaptation of the Caring Ability Inventory (CAI) and its validation in Portuguese. Methods: Methodological study developed in two stages, cross-cultural adaptation, analysis of its reliability (reproducibility and internal consistency), and validity (content and construct). The sample comprised 148 informal caregivers of cancer patients and 64 nurses from a public health service. Results: In the cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument, a satisfactory content validity was observed. After the pretest, the response scale was changed from seven to five points. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.76 and Cronbach's alpha 0.78. Factorial analysis showed that the instrument items did not remain grouped in the original structure. However, they showed a similar internal consistency. Conclusion: The Brazilian Portuguese version of CAI was shown to be reliable and valid, but new researches are needed to study the variations observed in the factorial distribution between the tool dimensions. ResumoObjetivo: Descrever a adaptação transcultural e validação para a língua portuguesa do Caring Ability Inventory (CAI). Métodos: Estudo metodológico desenvolvido em duas etapas, adaptação transcultural e análise da confiabilidade (reprodutibilidade e consistência interna) e validade (conteúdo e construto). A amostra foi composta por 148 cuidadores informais de pacientes com câncer e 64 enfermeiros de um serviço público de saúde. Resultados: Na adaptação transcultural do instrumento observou-se validade de conteúdo satisfatória. Após o pré-teste, alterou-se a escala de resposta de sete para cinco pontos. O coeficiente de correlação intraclasse foi de 0,76 e o Alpha de Cronbach de 0,78. A análise fatorial demonstrou que os itens do instrumento não se mantiveram agrupados na estrutura original, porém, mostraram consistência interna semelhante. Conclusão: A versão do CAI em língua portuguesa mostrou-se confiável e válida, porém novas pesquisas são necessárias para estudar as variações observadas na distribuição fatorial entre as dimensões do instrumento.

“…In the study of the concept of the caregiver, attention has been given to the skills necessary to perform the work [24], the consequences or impact it has on their well-being [25], and even the profile itself [26]. But in any case, it deals with a word that maintains a close bond with the family.…”

The figure of the caregiver of dependent elderly people is presently the subject of a large volume of scientific publications. In various disciplines of health and social sciences, an analysis of the terminology referring to these caregivers, specifically those who are untrained and unpaid for such care, in recent scientific publications, is considered necessary. This chapter makes a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics and needs of caregivers of elderly dependents with Alzheimer's disease. From a realistic and practical point of view, it is the impact of research on improving the quality of life of caregivers which is important. In addition, this analysis attempts to complete a process addressing theoretical and methodological aspects, in which various problems are detected, for their effective application in the field of care of dependency.

“…The family caregiver is an informal care agent, which generally refers to the person who will be responsible for the care demands, usually mediated by affection and commitment relationships that bond the family member, friends or neighbors to the dependent person. 2 Getting sick from a chronic condition requires different types of care, such as hygiene, food, and mobility, among others. Depending on the patient's level of dependence, such duties can be intense and prolonged and, therefore, strenuous.…”

“…The duties of the family caregiver includes performing procedures or practices and developing their care skill. 2 Care skill are the abilities of the person who takes on the role of caregiver of a relative or significant person in a situation of disability. These skills have cognitive, instrumental and attitudinal dimensions, which can be identified and measured according to indicators of knowledge, courage and patience.…”

Objective: to analyze the relationship between the characteristics of patients in cancer treatment, their family caregivers, the care provided with the overload, as well as between overload and the care skills. Method: a cross-sectional study conducted at the chemotherapy and radiotherapy services of a university hospital in Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) from March to August 2017, with 132 family caregivers of patients in cancer treatment. Data was collected by an instrument that characterizes patients, caregivers and care (the Brazilian version of the Caring Ability Inventory) and the Zarit Overload Scale. The following coefficients were used: Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis. Results: there was a significant relationship between the total overload and the patient’s level of dependence (p=0.021) and help from others (p=0.009). The “care impact” factor was significantly related with the patient’s level of dependence (p=0.006), the caregiver’s gender (p=0.035) and the care help (p=0.043). Regarding the “perception of self-efficacy” factor, there was a significant relationship involving the caregiver’s age (p=0.036) and, in the “caregiver expectation” factor, a significant relationship was observed with the care help (p=0.002). There was a significant and negative correlation between the total care skill and the overload factor related to interpersonal relationship (p=0.035); and between the “courage” dimension and the “perception of self-efficacy” (p=0.032) and “interpersonal relationship” (p=0.008) factors. Conclusion: the characteristics of the patient, the caregiver and the care provided influence the overload of the family caregiver, and this overload, in turn, interferes with the care skills. These results should be considered when planning interventions that aim to guide and prepare family caregivers for home care.
