Abstract in Portuguese
Este trabalho investigou o impacto da doença na vida do cuidador familiar do paciente crônico de um hospital terciário em São Paulo. 99 cuidadores responderam a um questionário sobre o impacto da doença crônica em seus sentimentos e em sua rotina diária. Foram testadas associações entre as variáveis dependentes (Questionário: Impacto da Doença Crônica) e variáveis independentes (dados do Questionário Sócio-demográfico). O perfil destes cuidadores é de predomínio de filhos (57,6%) ou cônjuges (31,3%), do sexo feminino (74,7%), faixa etária até 53 anos (69,7%), nível superior (43,4%), casados (58,6%) e procedentes da região sudeste do país (63,6%). A melhor resposta adaptativa ao impacto da doença crônica foi nos indivíduos procedentes da região nordeste do Brasil e a pior, nos cuidadores procedentes da região sul. A análise fatorial proporcionou redução de 38% do questionário e composição de 6 domínios, com consistência interna acima de 0,6. Concluímos que a doença crônica exerce sofrimento para os cuidadores, afetando sua qualidade de vida, fato geralmente negligenciado e por vezes, demanda tratamento por profissionais da saúde. Este estudo resultou na elaboração de ferramenta de investigação do impacto da doença crônica em cuidadores.

Abstract in English
We aimed to investigate the impact of chronic disease on the caregivers of outpatients from a tertiary hospital from San Paulo, Brazil. A group of 99 relative caregivers answered a questionnaire focusing the impact of chronic disease in their lives. The association between dependent and independent variables (Questionário: Impacto da Doença Crônica and social demographic data, respectively) were evaluated by the qui-square test. The results show that the caregiver profile of this population is predominantly women, married, age over 53 years old, wife or daughter. The caregivers from the Northeast region of Brazil presented the best adaptive response to the impact of the disease while the worst one was from those from the South region. The factor analysis enables the composition of 6 domains, reduction of 38% of the questionnaire with internal consistency above 0,6. We concluded that chronic disease brings discomfort and pain to caregivers, affecting the quality of life. This study also resulted in a consistent tool to evaluate and diagnose the caregivers feelings. These feelings are usually neglected and underestimated and need attention and sometimes specific treatment by health professionals.
