Desafios enfrentados por cuidadores de idosos: uma revisão integrativa
Resumo:
Introduction: Caregivers are essential components for the health area, especially in chronic situations. The present study aimed to recognize the elements that cause overload in the elderly caregiver, evaluating the articles from the years 2015-2020. Review: In methodological terms, an integrative review was carried out through a bibliographic survey that took place at the Virtual Health Library (VHL), accessing the LILACS and portal and SciELO databases, and selecting 10 articles. Discussion: Among the results, there was evidence that the patient-caregiver relationship should be based on planning that considers the health of care, and that overload can be avoided when better compensation for the services provided and relay with other caregivers. Final considerations: It was concluded that the causes of burden on caregivers, predominantly, are that of the context of a greater degree of dependence on the elderly, followed by other factors such as the socioeconomic profile and the quality of health of caregiver.
Keywords: caregivers, elderly, overload.
