Abstract
OBJETIVO: Determinar síntomas depresivos, apoyo social percibido y autopercepción de carga en pacientes en hemodiálisis crónica (HDC); identificar síntomas depresivos y grado de fatiga en cuidadores de pacientes en HDC, y evaluar -en el paciente- la asociación entre autopercepción de carga y apoyo social percibido, y entre autopercepción de carga y síntomas depresivos, y -en el cuidador- la relación entre el número de años de cuidado y el grado de fatiga alcanzado. MÉTODOS: Se tomó una muestra de 162 díadas paciente-cuidador, a quienes se les aplicaron los instrumentos "escala adaptada de percepción de apoyo social", "escala de autopercepción de carga", "escala de depresión del Centro de Estudios Epidemiológicos" y "escala de severidad de la fatiga". Los instrumentos fueron aplicados a los pacientes por ayudantes de investigación entrenados y, en el caso de los cuidadores, fueron autoaplicados. RESULTADOS: Del total de pacientes, 40 por ciento fueron mujeres, con un promedio de edad de 56 ± 14,9 años, mientras que entre los cuidadores principales, 75 por ciento fueron mujeres, cónyuges, con una edad promedio de 50 ± 16,1 años. Se observó que tanto los pacientes (40,74 por ciento) como los cuidadores principales (43,82 por ciento) presentaban síntomas de depresión. Se encontró una asociación positiva (r = 0,43, P 0,001) entre la autopercepción de carga y la presencia de síntomas depresivos en los pacientes. CONCLUSIONES: Los cuidadores principales son en su mayoría mujeres y familiares de los pacientes. Se perciben fatigados con el cuidado, al igual que lo perciben los propios pacientes. La presencia de síntomas depresivos es similar en pacientes y cuidadores, y hay una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre autopercepción de carga y presencia de síntomas depresivos en los pacientes.(AU)
 
OBJECTIVE: To determine the depressive symptoms, perceived social support, and self-perceived burden in chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients; identify depressive symptoms and degree of fatigue in caregivers of CHD patients; evaluate-in patients-the association between self-perceived burden and perceived social support, and between self-perceived burden and depressive symptoms; and evaluate-in caregivers-the relationship between the number of years of care and the degree of fatigue reached. METHODS: A sample of 162 patient-caregiver pairs was selected in which an adapted version of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, along with the Self-perceived Burden Scale, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and the Fatigue Severity Scale were applied. The instruments were administered to patients by trained research assistants and, in the case of the caregivers, were self-administered. RESULTS: Forty percent of the patients were women, with an average age of 56 ± 14.9 years, whereas 75 percent of the primary caregivers were female spouses, with an average age of 50 ± 16.1 years. It was observed that the patients (40.74 percent) as well as the primary caregivers (43.82 percent) had depressive symptoms. A positive association (r = 0.43, P 0.001) was found between self-perceived burden and the presence of depressive symptoms in patients. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of the primary caregivers were women and relatives of the patients. They perceived themselves as fatigued with care, as did the patients themselves. The presence of depressive symptoms was similar in patients and caregivers. There was a statistically significant association between self-perceived burden and the presence of depressive symptoms in patients.(AU)
