Abstract

The objective of the present study was to identify care-related variables associated with caregiver's burden and quantify the intensity of discomfort produced by such variables in primary caregivers of chronic kidney disease patients. Thirty-one caregivers answered the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale and a questionnaire evaluating the intensity of discomfort generated by the care variables. A total of 71% of caregivers showed some degree of burden. Significant relationships were found between
the amount of burden and socioeconomic variables and with such hospital personnel practices such as the rigor of the treatment, the patient's health, the role of the caregiver, and the patient's degree of dependence. These variables also explained caregivers' distress and discomfort. These results point to the need to identify overwhelmed caregivers and design and implement interventions to promote their biopsychosocial well-being.
