Abstrakt: Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) requires the support of a main caregiver, who can be subjected to an intense workload, and is susceptible to physical, psychological and social alterations.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of burden in primary informal caregivers of PD patients, the associated factors and their impact on patients at 12 months.
Material and Mehotds: 180 caregivers were included, with an average age of 42.8 ± 13.9 years, 73.3% were women. The Zarit survey was applied to assess the degree of caregiver overload.
Results: We identified that the majority of caregivers do not present overload; however, there is a greater burden in patients with continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD), with higher overall mortality in the group with severe burden (p < 0.05). Linear regression showed an association between hours of patient care, occupation, dialysis modality, and schooling with the presence of caregiver overload (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The burden presented by the caregiver is similar to that reported in the literature. CAPD patients whose family member has severe burden show higher global mortality at 12 months.
