Overload in the experience of the primary family caregiver of the elderly adult with Alzheimer's diseaseAbstract
La presente investigación se enfocó en describir el fenómeno de la sobrecarga y su impacto en el cuidador familiar primario de adultos mayores con enfermedad de Alzheimer. Para este fin, se desarrolló un estudio cualitativo aplicando la técnica de la entrevista a 10 cuidadores primarios. La información recabada fue analizada empleando la técnica del análisis de contenido. Los principales hallazgos revelan que la mayor parte de los cuidadores presentan sobrecarga debido a que consideran el rol de cuidador como demandante, carecen de información acerca de la enfermedad y perciben la ausencia de apoyo en el cuidado de los otros miembros de la familia. Lo descrito tiene un impacto en el bienestar y las actividades del cuidador, quien suele expresar emociones como la frustración y tristeza profunda, así como, señala un estancamiento en el desarrollo de sus metas profesionales.This investigation wants to describe the overload experience of the primary family caregiver of the elderly adult with Alzheimer's disease. Considering this, the present qualitative study has applied an interview technique to 10 primary family caregivers. The present information has been analyzed by the content analysis technique. The main findings reveal that most of the caregivers have overload. This is attributed not only because they consider this a demanding roll, they also have a lack of knowledge about the disease, and this caregivers experience feelings like frustration and deep sadness. In most of the cases, presence of family issues has been caused by the lack of support associated to an avoiding behavior from the family members. Finally, a change in general well-being of the caregiver is detected, also professional stagnation and consequences to physical and mental health.
