Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação objetiva descrever as alterações adversas na vida do cuidador informal do idoso dependente derivadas do ato de cuidar e identificar as necessidades percecionadas pelos cuidadores.
Seguiu-se um estudo transversal e descritivo, de carácter quantitativo e qualitativo. O instrumento de recolha de dados foi a entrevista semiestruturada/semifechada, aplicada a dez cuidadores informais de idosos dependentes, sendo maioritariamente do género feminino, com idades superiores a 65 anos. Constatou-se que, no que diz respeito ao grau de parentesco do cuidador informal com o idoso, a maioria era o conjugue.
Verificou-se que há alterações na vida dos participantes pelo facto de terem assumido o papel de cuidadores informais do familiar idoso, cujas implicações são a vários níveis, tendo sobressaído as implicações na vida social; sobrecarga psicológica; implicações nas atividades que antes davam prazer fazer; implicações em termos de saúde; sobrecarga física; Implicações nas atividades de vida diária, sobrecarga monetária e alterações na vida familiar e profissional.
Houve entrevistados que exprimiram a necessidade de ter ajuda para atenuar os problemas que sentem por estarem a cuidar o seu idoso, tendo-se, deste modo, apurado o apoio da Segurança Social, nomeadamente em termos de contributo monetário, da Unidade de Cuidados Continuados e Centro de Dia.
