Objetivo: Conocer la relación existente entre la tarea de cuidar a pacientes con Enfermedad de Alzheimer, el Género de los cuidadores y su nivel de formación académica. Método: Estudio descriptivo, como sujetos de estudio 69 personas diagnosticadas de Enfermedad de Alzheimer y sus respectivos cuidadores familiares. En los cuidadores se analizó: la edad, el género, el nivel de estudios, carga, depresión, nivel de ansiedad, calidad de vida y soledad social. En los pacientes se valoró la edad, género, nivel de dependencia y estado neuropsicológico. La recogida de datos se realizó en 2016. Entre otros análisis se realizó análisis de regresión logística.Resultados: Se obtuvo que los cuidadores con estudios superiores sufrían mayor carga, siendo mujeres en su mayoría. Mujeres con más probabilidad de presentar soledad social, altos niveles de ansiedad y peor calidad de vida que los hombres. La carga puede ser debida al gran número de responsabilidades y a la imposibilidad de combinarlas con el papel de cuidador. Se puede concluir que las mujeres llegan a ser víctimas del cuidado de personas con Enfermedad de Alzheimer. The aim of this job is to know the existing relationship between the task of caring patients with Alzheimer's disease, caregivers' gender and their level of academic studies. Descriptive study, 69 persons diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and their respective familiar caregivers as subjects of the study. Age, gender, academic level, burden, depression, anxiety level, quality of life and social loneliness have been measured in caregivers. Age, gender, dependency level and neuropsychological state have been measured in patients. Data collection was done in 2016. Logistic regression analysis was performed. Caregivers with high levels of academic studies suffer more burden, being women in their majority. They are more likely to present social loneliness and higher levels of anxiety and a worse quality of life than men. The burden may be due to a greater number of responsibilities to respond to, and to the inability to combine it with the role of caregiver. We can conclude that women become victims of caring Alzheimer' patients.

This paper aimed to compare the reports of patients and caregivers about how they perceive quality of life (QoL) in general and each of its dimensions in elderly with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The participants were elderly diagnosed with AD (n=53) attended by the Exceptional Medication Program in a city in the interior of Sao Paulo; and their respective family caregivers. The QoL measures were obtained through the Quality of Life Assessment Scale on Alzheimer’s Disease. The results showed statistically significant differences in the “memory” (p<0.05) and “you in general” (p<0.005) dimensions. Regarding the final score, the average in the patient’s version was 29.32 points (sd=6.27), against 28.33 points (sd=5.58) in the family version, p>0.100. Although the relative and patient reports were not identical, the results pointed to a high level of consistency among information.

Conclusiones: La calidad de vida del cuidador de personas con enfermedad de Alzheimer se ve comprometida, debido al aparecimiento de afecciones físicas, psicológicas, sociales y económicas, derivadas por el desgaste y la sobrecarga.

Despite this, today a large number of older adults are vulnerable to chronic diseases and other conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, so caring for these people represents a challenge for their caregivers. Objective: Analyze the quality of life of caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease. Methods: An integrative review of the scientific literature was carried out, for the formulation of the research question, the PICO format was used: What is the Quality of Life of caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease? Subsequently, the search for scientific articles was started in the following databases: Pub Med; Wef of Science (WOS); Bvs; SciELO and Scopus. Using the following DeCS: "Quality of life", "Caregivers" and "Alzheimer Disease", associated with the Boolean operator "AND". 343 articles were initially identified, of which 15 were eligible and 7 were selected because they met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The care of the person with Alzheimer's disease falls mostly in families. The majority of caregivers are women, the care is integral, continuous, with physical and psychological wear, and these factors negatively affect their quality of life and compromise their health. Conclusions: The quality of life of the caregiver of people with Alzheimer's disease is compromised, due to the appearance of physical, psychological, social and economic conditions, derived from wear and tear and overload. Therefore, making the needs and problems derived from their visible role can contribute significantly to the development of comprehensive care interventions in this vulnerable population   Keywords: quality of life; caregivers; Alzheimer disease; Nursing care

Objetivo: analisar as características sociodemográficas associadas à percepção da qualidade de vida de mulheres atendidas na atenção primária. Metodologia: estudo transversal, quantitativo, desenvolvido com 113 mulheres em uma unidade de saúde do interior de São Paulo. Utilizou-se um questionário sociodemográfico e a versão abreviada do instrumento de avaliação de qualidade de vida. Para análise dos dados, foram empreendidos testes de associação. Resultados: a maioria das participantes era de classes sociais menos favorecidas e apresentava boa percepção de qualidade de vida e saúde. Os fatores renda, escolaridade e idade foram os mais relevantes na associação com a qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Apesar de mencionarem boa qualidade de vida e saúde, foram identificados piores resultados nos domínios físicos, psicológicos e meio ambiente.  Os achados reforçam a necessidade de que as ações de saúde estejam contextualizadas aos aspectos sociais/territoriais e vinculadas a políticas mais amplas de redução da vulnerabilidade social. WOMEN'S QUALITY OF LIFE AND ASSOCIATED SOCIO DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICSObjective: to analyze the sociodemographic characteristics associated to the perception of the quality of life of the women attended in the Primary Health Care. Methodology: this cross-sectional quantitative study was carried out with 113 women aged 20 to 65 years in a health unit in the interior of São Paulo. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the abbreviated version of the WHOQOL-bref quality of life assessment instrument were used. For data analysis, association tests were undertaken. Results: the majority of participants were from less favored social classes and had a good perception of quality of life and health. The factors income, schooling and age were the most relevant in the association with quality of life. Conclusion: in view of the sociodemographic characteristics associated with quality of life in the present study, it is emphasized that health actions should be linked to broader policies to reduce social vulnerability, enabling empowerment strategies and, above all, increasing women's access to education and income.Descriptors: Quality of Life; Health Centers; Social Vulnerability; Women; Primary Health Care.CALIDAD DE VIDA DE LAS MUJERES Y LAS CARACTERÍSTICAS SOCIODEMOGRÁFICAS ASSOCIADASObjetivo: analizar las características sociodemográficas asociadas a la percepción de la calidad de vida de mujeres que acuden a atención primaria.
