“…The demographic results obtained corroborate those of current literature, including when compared to groups of caregivers from different regions (15) , revealing a group that is mostly female and of an older age. This age group, close to 60 years, validates the importance of better knowing the risk factors of caregiver activity, since it is a population that will soon also be aged.…”

et al. 2022

Objectives: to analyze the personal and work-related burden factors associated with physical and emotional symptoms of informal caregivers of the elderly. Methods: cross-sectional study conducted with 121 informal caregivers and 121 seniors who received care, assessed individually for the risk of: physical overload, musculoskeletal symptoms, Self-Reporting Questionnaire, effort perception, and Katz index. Results: a greater perception of effort raises up to 3.3 times the chances of presenting symptoms of pain in the spine region (p=0.01), and lower functional capacity of the elderly increases up to 1.3 times the chances of presenting pain symptoms in the spine region (p=0.02). The symptoms of emotional overload were associated with the caregiver’s low income (p=0.02). Conclusions: the perception of effort, dependence of the elderly, caregiver’s age, and symptoms of emotional overload are involved with caregivers’ symptoms of physical overload, and low income, with emotional overload.

“…Los cuidadores tienden a ser los cónyuges o hijos de los pacientes, lo que coincide con el marco de la sociedad, centrada en la familia. Cuidar de víctimas de ACV con alto grado de dependencia funcional se relacionó con peor salud física y emocional en los cuidadores, conforme a análisis recientes de la literatura (24,27) . Concluimos que la salud de los cuidadores y el estado funcional de los pacientes estuvieron fuertemente conectados.…”

Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio es examinar la relación entre los problemas osteomusculares sufridos por cuidadores familiares que tienen a su cargo velar por pacientes que han sufrido un accidente cerebrovascular y los niveles de salud física y discapacidad. Método: los sujetos incluidos en el estudio eran pacientes y cuidadores familiares atendidos en la clínica de servicios ambulatorios de Fisioterapia y Rehabilitación del Hospital Universitario y de Investigación Kanuni Sultan Suleyman por diagnósticos de ACV entre el 30 de mayo de 2019 y el 30 de mayo de 2021. Los cuidadores fueron evaluados mediante el Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Se emplearon escalas validadas para evaluar los niveles de salud física y discapacidad de los sobrevivientes de accidentes cerebrovasculares. Resultados: los participantes de este estudio fueron 104 sobrevivientes de accidentes cerebrovasculares y 104 cuidadores que cumplieron con nuestros criterios de inclusión. Las quejas relacionadas con la región lumbar durante el último mes se asociaron con las puntuaciones obtenidas por los pacientes en el Functional Ambulation Score (FAS), la Functional Independence Measure (FIM) y la Stroke Impact Scale (SIS), además de las puntuaciones Brunnstrom. El dolor de cuello fue la segunda queja osteomuscular, aunque no se asoció estadísticamente con factores relacionados con los pacientes. Los problemas en las extremidades superiores se asociaron con las puntuaciones obtenidas en los instrumentos FAS, FIM, SIS, Brunnstrom y Modified Ashworth Scale. Conclusión: de acuerdo con nuestros hallazgos, la región lumbar es la parte del cuerpo más afectada por quejas osteomusculares en cuidadores familiares de sobrevivientes de accidentes cerebrovasculares, demostrando una estrecha relación con los niveles de capacidad funcional y discapacidad de los pacientes. Número de registro de ensayos clínicos: NCT04901637

“…Caregivers may experience physical harm of varying degrees of severity, especially among older caregivers, such as musculoskeletal disorders [5,6], pain [7], and weight gain [8]. Furthermore, they are at an increased risk of mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety, of caregiver burden, and worsening of the overall quality of life [9].…”

The physical activity (PA) and inactivity of family caregivers of cancer patients were investigated and related to burden and quality of life through a cross-sectional multicentre study. A total of 75 caregivers were recruited from June 2020 to March 2021. The levels of PA and inactivity were estimated with a wrist accelerometer, 24 h a day, for 7 consecutive days. The Quality of Life Family Version, the Caregiver Strain Index, the total duration of care, the average number of hours spent in care, and the assistance received were registered. Our results showed that moderate-to-vigorous PA was 96.40 ± 46.93 min/day, with 90.7% of participants performing more than 150 min/week of physical activity, and this was significantly associated with age (r = −0.237). Daily inactivity was 665.78 ± 94.92 min, and inactivity for 20–30 min was significantly associated with caregiver burden (r = 0.232) and quality of life (r = −0.322). Compliance with the World Health Organization recommendations was significantly associated with a lower quality of life (r = −0.269). The strength of these associations was limited (r ~0.2). In conclusion, the PA performed by most caregivers met the established recommendations, although older caregivers (>65 years old) performed lower moderate-to-vigorous PA than younger ones. In addition, the mean inactive time was high (11 h/day), showing slight relationships with the burden and quality of life of caregivers.
