Sentido del cuidado y sobrecarga

a significant inverse relationship was found between the score for total meaning of care and the scores for burden (p < 0.01), anxiety (p < 0.05) and depression (p < 0.05) among caregivers. That is, when caregivers indicated that they found meaning in caregiving, their level of additional burden and psychiatric morbidity was significantly reduced. Therefore, the variable of meaning should be taken into account in future evaluations and interventions in the caregivers of Alzheimer's patients.
