“…These results corroborate other studies that identified a positive association between burden and NPSs. 6,30 Only anxiety and appetite change were not significantly associated with burden. Although anxiety was one of the symptoms considered to be more stressful by the caregiver, the comparison test between groups with and without NPSs and the correlation test showed that anxiety was not significantly related to burden.…”

“…Caregivers of AD patients suffer more than those of physically frail older people, given the specific symptoms experienced by dementia patients, such as behavioral problems, disorientation, personality change, need for continuous supervision, as well as the caregiver isolation due to the patient's behavioral problems and the progressive deterioration of the patient's condition, which reduces or eliminates a long-term prospect of improvement, contributing to increased caregiver burden. 30 Caregivers also feel more burdened when they have to deal with NPSs. This fact was confirmed by the data correlations between mean burden scores and NPSs, which revealed that the higher the caregiver burden, the greater the number of NPSs in dementia care recipients.…”

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and degenerative condition affecting several cognitive areas, with a decline in functional abilities and behavioral changes. Objective: To investigate the association between neuropsychiatric symptoms in older adults with AD and caregiver burden and depression. Methods: A total of 134 family caregivers of older people diagnosed with AD answered a questionnaire with sociodemographic data and questions concerning the care context, neuropsychiatric symptoms, caregiver burden, and depressive symptoms. Results: Results revealed that 95% of older adults had at least one neuropsychiatric symptom, with the most common being: apathy, anxiety, and depression. Among the 12 neuropsychiatric symptoms investigated, 10 were significantly associated with caregiver burden, while 8 showed significant correlations with depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Neuropsychiatric symptoms were related to caregiver burden and depressive symptoms. In addition to the older adult with AD, the caregiver should receive care and guidance from the health team to continue performing quality work.

“…Verificamos o perfil sociodemográfico dos indivíduos e seus cuidadores. Embora existam muitos estudos voltadas para as demências, nos últimos anos, poucas publicações abordam o impacto dos sintomas neuropsiquiátricos na vida do cuidador no contexto nacional (Storti et al, 2016;Silva ILC et al, 2018;Delfino, Cachioni, 2015). Neste sentido, também identificamos o nível de desgaste que estes sintomas causam no cuidador familiar.…”

As demências são síndromes cognitivas que representam um problema de saúde pública e são caracterizadas por alterações neuropsiquiátricas que surgem ao longo do tempo. Este estudo objetivou identificar os sintomas/alterações neuropsiquiátricas em pessoas com diagnóstico de demência do tipo irreversível e o desgaste do cuidador familiar. Realizou-se um estudo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado em dois ambulatórios especializados em demências na cidade do Recife no período de julho a dezembro de 2019. Foram coletados dados de 43 pessoas com demência e seus respectivos cuidadores. Os sintomas neuropsiquiátricos mais prevalentes nos participantes foram a apatia/indiferença, ansiedade, disforia/depressão e irritabilidade. Quanto à gravidade, houve prevalência da forma grave para apatia/indiferença, comportamento motor aberrante, comportamento noturno. Em relação ao nível de desconforto no cuidador, a apatia/indiferença predominou entre os sintomas neuropsiquiátricos considerados graves. A gravidade dos sintomas neuropsiquiátricos na demência, associado a outros fatores, interferem no nível de sobrecarga do cuidador. A identificação precoce dos sintomas neuropsiquiátricos nas pessoas com demência, bem como o desgaste do cuidador é imprescindível para traçar estratégias de enfrentamento e tratar as alterações de forma eficaz.
