Objective: To determine the relationship between the use of coping strategies and the level of caregiver burden in relatives of patients with schizophrenia in the Pabellón 20 Women’s ward at the Víctor Larco Herrera Hospital – 2018. Materials and Methods: This research is quantitative, correlational, and cross-sectional in design. The population consisted of 67 family caregivers whose patients were hospitalized in the mentioned institution. The instruments used were the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI), which measures the degree of use of eight coping strategies in stressful situations, and the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale, which measures the level of caregiver burden. Results: A correlation exists between the use of coping strategies and the level of caregiver burden in family caregivers of patients with schizophrenia. The Spearman correlation test yielded a correlation index of 0.146 (p < 0.05) and a significance index of 0.039. Among the most relevant coping strategy dimensions were: Desirability thinking (71.6%), avoidance of problems, and emotional expression (65.7%). Regarding burden, 35.8% experienced minimal and mild burden, while 28.4% had intense burden. Conclusions: A significant, directly proportional, and positive relationship exists between the use of coping strategies and caregiver burden. The most used coping strategy was desirability thinking, and most caregivers experienced minimal or mild burden.
