(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2015) Gonzales Janampa, Judyth Tereza; Mas Huamán, Teresa; Silva Fhon, Jack Roberto
Objective: To relate caregiver workload and quality of life in caregivers of elderly adults. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study with 183 caregivers. To assess the elderly adults, the following instruments were used: demographic profile, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Barthel Index (ADL), Lawton and Brody Scale (IADL), and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). For caregivers, the demographic profile, Zarit Scale, and Short-Form 36 were used. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlation (p<0.05) were applied for analysis. Results: Among the elderly adults, 60.1% were male, 62.3% were married, and 50.3% had higher education. Upon evaluation, 38.3% showed cognitive impairment, 47.5% showed depressive symptoms, 17.5% had mild dependency in ADLs, and 41% had moderate dependency in IADLs. Among caregivers, 86.9% were female, 73.8% had higher education, 53.0% were married, and most were children (45.4%). 18.1% experienced caregiver overload (mild and intense). Regarding quality of life, the lowest averages were found in general health, vitality, and mental health. There was a correlation between caregiver workload and quality of life dimensions (p<0.001). Conclusion: There is a need to promote physical and mental support for caregivers by the multidisciplinary team to improve their quality of life, which contributes to the care of elderly adults.
