Abstract(s)
A sobrecarga do cuidador pode levar não só ao comprometimento físico e psicológico mas também a problemas de ordem emocional, social e financeiros; “the caregiver burden has been defined as the physical, psychological, emotional, social and financial problems that can be experienced by family members caring for impaired older adults” (George & Gwyther, 1986, citado por Lee, Kim & Kim, 2006, p. 784). Martins (2006, citando Braithwaite, 1992) define a sobrecarga do cuidador como uma perturbação que resulta do lidar com a dependência física e a incapacidade mental da pessoa alvo dos cuidados, correspondendo à perceção subjetiva das ameaças às necessidades fisiológicas, sociais e psicológicas do cuidador.
Para Sequeira (2010) o conceito de sobrecarga reporta-se ao conjunto das consequências que sucedem na sequência de um contacto próximo com um doente ou idoso dependente com/sem demência.
O ser humano mantém-se ambientado em grupos sociais, associações e coletividades para a subsistência da sua sobrevivência, fazendo parte da sua conjuntura, a pertença a agregações sociais (Moreira, 2006). A família enquadra-se nestas agregações sociais e é detentora de muitas particularidades que serão expostas nos seguintes subcapítulos.
Embora as tradicionais designações de família valorizem os critérios de consanguinidade, adoção e matrimónio, atualmente são consideradas limitadoras e castradoras das novas formas familiares, já não respondendo aos tipos de família emergentes (Mendes & Martins, 2012).
As doenças cardiovasculares constituem a causa de morte mais relevante em toda a Europa (OMS, 2014). A cada meia hora, uma pessoa vítima de AVC dá entrada num hospital português, sendo a doença que mais mata em Portugal (DGS, 2013).
Em 2012, 50% dos doentes internados por AVC tiveram acesso a unidades especializadas, traduzindo-se em vantagens não só na redução da mortalidade cerebrovascular, mas também na limitação das sequelas mentais e motoras, muitas vezes devastadoras a nível pessoal e familiar (DGS, 2013).
Este estudo transversal decorrido na cidade do Porto entre Junho e Julho de 2017.
Caregiver overload can lead not only to physical and psychological impairment but also to emotional, social and financial problems; "The caregiver burden has been defined as the physical, psychological, emotional, social and financial problems that can be experienced by family members caring for impaired older adults" (George & Gwyther, 1986, quoted by Lee, Kim & Kim, 2006, p. 784). Martins (2006, citing Braithwaite, 1992) defines caregiver overload as a disruption resulting from dealing with the physical dependence and mental disability of the care recipient, corresponding to the subjective perception of the threats to the physiological, social and psychological needs of the caregiver. According to Sequeira (2010), the concept of overload refers to the ensuing consequences following close contact with a patient or elderly dependent with / without dementia. The human being remains set in social groups, associations and collectivities for the subsistence of their survival, being part of their conjuncture, belonging to social aggregations (Moreira, 2006). The family fits into these social aggregations and has many peculiarities that will be exposed in the following sub-chapters. Although traditional family designations value consanguinity, adoption, and marriage criteria, they are currently considered limiting and castrating new family forms, no longer responding to emerging family types (Mendes & Martins, 2012). Cardiovascular diseases are the most important cause of death in Europe (OMS, 2014). Every half hour, a person who is a victim of stroke is admitted to a Portuguese hospital, a disease that kills most in Portugal (DGS, 2013). In 2012, 50% of patients hospitalized for stroke have access to specialized units, which translates into advantages not only in reducing cerebrovascular mortality, but also in limiting the mental and motor sequelae that are often devastating on a personal and family level (DGS, 2013). This transversal study was carried out in the city of Porto between June and July 2017.
