Abstract

Objetivo: evaluar la calidad de vida de cuidadores informales de personas que viven en situación de enfermedad crónica determinando si la misma se relaciona con las características sociodemográficas de los participantes. Materiales y métodos: se evaluaron 127 cuidadores informales residentes en Montería (Córdoba, Colombia), durante el segundo semestre de 2012, por medio de un diseño ex post facto con el cuestionario WHOQOL-Bref de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Para la evaluación de calidad de vida se consideraron cuatro dominios: a) salud física, b) salud psicológica, c) relaciones sociales y d) medioambiente. Los datos se analizaron con SPSS 18,0 aplicando chi cuadrado de Pearson y pruebas de diferencias entre grupos. Resultados: se observaron bajos niveles de salud física y psicológica, deterioro de los procesos de participación social y niveles moderados de interacción con el medioambiente. Condiciones como el género del cuidador, su ocupación y la relación con el paciente tuvieron una correspondencia significativa (p < 0,05) con la calidad de vida en relación con los dominios de medioambiente, vida social y salud psicológica. Conclusiones: los cuidadores informales presentan un deterioro general de su calidad de vida con déficit marcado en la esfera relacional.

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.
