Abstract(s)
As tendências atuais da prestação de cuidados de saúde, estão orientadas para o
desenvolvimento de formas de cuidar em que o cuidador é chamado a participar no
processo de cuidador.
Os cuidadores informais prestam cuidados de natureza diversificada relacionados com
as Atividades de Vida Diária. Segundo Collière (2003) estas abrangem cuidados de
“higiene, alimentação, vestir, proteção, mobilização, atenção, conforto, segurança,
tratamento repouso e socialização”.
Na verdade o Cuidador Informal é a personagem invisível, responsável pela manutenção
do doente com necessidade de cuidados e pelo seu bem-estar e qualidade de vida, o qual
se vê “de tal modo implicado no processo de cuidar que muitas vezes não equaciona as
suas próprias necessidades”. Experimentam dificuldades, sentimentos e necessidades
relacionadas com falta de informação sobre a doença e o cuidar, com a falta de recursos,
de apoio económico e falta de suporte emocional.
Neste estudo quisemos perceber se existe sobrecarga nos cuidadores informais dos
doentes do serviço de Oncologia Médica e Medicina da Unidade da Feira do Centro
Hospitalar entre Douro e Vouga (CHEDV) e identificar os fatores que a geram.
Esta pesquisa foi de carácter quantitativo, tratou-se da avaliação de um conjunto de
parâmetros relacionados com a sobrecarga dos cuidadores. Usamos instrumentos
adaptados à população portuguesa, GRAFFAR; ZARIT; BARTHEL; CADI; CASI e
CAMI.
Neste estudo verificamos que os cuidadores informais não se encontram em sobrecarga,
quanto maior é a dependência do doente mais esta aumenta. Para além disso, os
cuidadores informais do serviço de Medicina apresentam mais dificuldades, usando
mais estratégias de coping. Os mesmos apresentam ainda uma maior satisfação no
cuidar.
A intervenção de Enfermagem em programas de apoio a este tipo de cuidadores, tanto
no aspeto formativo como na sua aplicação prática, minimiza o desenvolvimento da
referida sobrecarga
Current trends in health care are oriented to the development of ways to care. The caregiver is asked to participate in the process of care. The informal caregivers providing care related to the diverse nature of activities of daily living. According Collière (2003) these include care of "hygiene, food, clothing, protection, mobilization, attention, comfort, security, home treatment and socialization." Actually the Informal Caregiver is the invisible character responsible for maintaining the patient in need of care and their well-being and quality of life, which is seen "so involved in the care process that often does not discuss the their own needs. "Experience difficulties, feelings and needs related to lack of information about the disease and care, the lack of resources, economic support and lack of emotional support. The study objectives were, first, realize that the informal caregivers of patients in the Service of Medical Oncology and Medicine of Between Douro and Vouga Hospital Centre (CHEDV) – Unity of Feira, were overloaded and secondly, identify the factors causing overload and compare it. This research was quantitative, in nature, was evaluating a set of parameters related to caregiver burden. We use tools adapted to the Portuguese population, Graffar; Zarit; BARTHEL, CADI, CAMI and CASI. In this study it was found that the informal caregivers are not overload. The higher is the dependence of patient, higher is the overhead. In addition, informal caregivers of Medical Service presents more difficulties and because of that, they using more coping strategies. They still have a greater satisfaction in care. In this context, it is imperative to intervene in nursing programs to support this type of caregivers, both in the training aspect and in its practical application.
