Abstract

Introducción: el cuidador informal es la persona que brinda su ayuda y apoyo a la persona con alguna discapacidad que dificulte el desarrollo normal de sus actividades vitales, usualmente, son familiares o amigos quienes se encargan de la atención del paciente oncológico. Objetivo: identificar el nivel de estrés por sobrecarga en el cuidador informal de pacientes oncológicos en la instancia domiciliaria. Métodos: se realizó una investigación cualitativa con enfoque fenomenológico, utilizando un muestreo no probabilístico, tipo cadena en forma lineal. Para la recolección de información, se utilizó un diseño de campo, empleando una entrevista semiestructurada a 8 participantes, donde posteriormente fueron transcritas, permitiendo realizar una categorización, subcategorización y codificación de resultados. Resultados: los cuidadores informales dedican un tiempo de 6 a 24 horas diarias en la atención del paciente oncológico, ya que a medida que la enfermedad avanza, el paciente se vuelve dependiente necesitando asistencia en la nutrición e higiene generando una sobrecarga física, que ocasionó deserción estudiantil y renuncia laboral, llegando a ser lo primordial el cuidado de su familiar, además por la ausencia formación académica los cuidadores informales presentaron trastornos emocionales como estrés, baja autoestima, soledad, depresión e insomnio. Conclusión: el estrés por sobrecarga en el cuidador informal de pacientes oncológicos en la instancia domiciliaria, se ocasionan por el cambio drástico en la vida personal del cuidador, es decir, la rutina diaria en combinación con el cuidado del familiar lleva a un agotamiento físico y social.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
