Contexto: O envelhecimento implica mudanças na saúde. Objetivo: Descrever o pa-pel do cuidador informal. Perceber as suas necessidades associadas à sobrecarga, ao suporte social percebido, burnout, e as implicações para o psicólogo em contexto de cuidados continuados. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo transversal. Amostra de conveniência, constituída por 35 cuidadores informais (24 mulheres e 11 homens, 30 a 89 anos) e 35 pessoas cuidadas (23 mulheres e 12 homens, 20 a 89 anos). Autori-zação e o consentimento informado. Dados do processo clínico. Questionários socio-demográficos, Inventário das Necessidades da Família na Unidade de Cuidados In-tensivos, Escala de Satisfação com o Apoio Social, Questionário de Avaliação de So-brecarga do Cuidador Informal, Inventário de Burnout de Copenhaga, Índice de Bar-thel. Descrição e análise inferencial com SPSS. Resultados: Mais importância dada às necessidades com dimensão de segurança, honestidade e esperança (n=23, 66.0%). Até aos 3 meses de internamento, a maioria apresentou sobrecarga alta a extrema (n=16, 84.2%). Uma maior sobrecarga associa-se a menor satisfação com o suporte social percebido e burnout pessoal. Conclusão: O cuidar é feminino, familiar, de meia idade, com o ensino básico e no ativo (48.6%). Este perfil é congruente com o padrão europeu e tem implicações no cuidado e na saúde.
Framework: Ageing implies changes in health. Objective: To describe the role of the informal caregiver. To understand the needs related to their burden, the perceived so-cial support, burnout, and the implications for the psychologist in a context of continu-ous care unit. Methods: Cross-sectional study. The convenience sample consists of 35 caregivers (24 F and 11 M, aged 30-89) of 35 patients (23 F and 12 M, aged 20-89). Permission and informed consent were required. Clinical record data compiled. The following instruments were used: sociodemographic questionnaires, Critical Care Family Needs Inventory, Satisfaction with Social Support Scale, The Informal Caregi-ver Burden Assessment Questionnaire, Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, Barthel Index. The data collected was proceeded to description and inferential analysis with SPSS. Results: More importance was given to needs with a dimension of security, honesty and hope (n=23, 66.0%). Up to 3 months of hospitalization, the majority presented high to extreme levels of burden (n=16, 84.2%). An increased burden is associated with less perceived social support and personal burnout. Conclusions: Caring is female, familiar, middle-aged, with basic education levels, and not retired informal caregiver’s (48.6%). This profile is congruent with the European surveys and has implications for care and health.
