Resumen
[ES]La enfermedad de Alzheimer se define como un tipo de demencia que puede ser categorizada por ser de naturaleza degenerativa siendo sus características clínicas la alteración en el metabolismo de las proteínas y el deterioro cognitivo.
Definimos cuidador como la persona que se encarga de asistir y/o cuidar a otra persona que lo requiere ya que padece alguna minusvalía, discapacidad o cualquier dificultad para realizar con normalidad las ABVD.
La sobrecarga es el resultado al combinar el estrés, la tensión física y la presión emocional relacionándolo con la carga objetiva que puede produce la asistencia al mayor con Alzheimer.
Objetivo: describir la sobrecarga de cuidadores informales en pacientes con Alzheimer y otras demencias.
Este trabajo se trata de una revisión bibliográfica de 10 estudios en las siguientes bases de datos: PubMed, Dialnet y Cinhal.
Conclusión: Existe un alto nivel de sobrecarga en el cuidador de pacientes con Alzheimer. Esta sobrecarga percibida por las cuidadoras es descrita tanto de manera subjetiva, como objetivamente tras aplicar las escalas correspondientes.
[EN]Introduction: Alzheimer's disease is defined as a type of dementia that can be categorized as being degenerative in nature, its clinical characteristics being the alteration in protein metabolism and cognitive diagnosis. This protein alteration can produce neurotoxic peptides as a consequence of the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. Define caregiver as the person who is in charge of attending and / or caring for another person who requires and who suffers from some disability, disability or any difficulty to carry out the ABVD normally. Overloading is the result of combining stress, physical tension and emotional pressure, relating it to the objective load that assistance to the elderly with Alzheimer's can produce. Objetive: To describe the burden of informal caregivers. Methodology: This is a bibliographic review of 10 studies in the PubMed, Dialnet and Cinhal databases. Conclusion: There is a high level of overload in the caregiver of Alzheimer's patients. This overload perceived by the caregivers is described both subjectively and objectively after applying the corresponding scales.
