Abstract

Objetivo: La incidencia y prevalencia de enfermedades de larga duración como el cáncer se ha incrementado en los últimos años. En este contexto, nuestro principal objetivo será el análisis de las principales consecuencias que la exposición a una situación de estrés crónico, como es el cuidado de un paciente oncológico, tiene sobre la salud psicosocial y la función cognitiva del cuidador informal y su relación con variables moduladoras. Método: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las bases de datos PubMed y PsychINFO sobre las consecuencias de la situación de cuidado en pacientes crónicos. Resultados: Diversos estudios sugieren que la condición de cuidador de un paciente oncológico puede considerarse una situación estresante que conlleva consecuencias tanto a nivel de salud física como psicosocial del cuidador además de un deterioro en su funcionamiento cognitivo que pueden estar modulados por diferentes variables. Conclusión: Estos datos sugieren la importancia de implementar programas de intervención que amortigüen las consecuencias deletéreas de la labor de cuidado.

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.
