PABLO SANTIAGO, Ruth et al. Burden and perceived Self-efficacy in informal primary caregivers of patients with heart failure. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.3, pp.152-158. ISSN 2386-8201.
Objective: To examine the association between perceived self-efficacy and burden in caregivers of patients with heart failure. Design: Cross-sectional exploratoy and correlational study. Location: Community level. Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias (National Institute of Respiratory Diseases) "Ismael Cosío Villegas". Participants: 109 caregivers of patients with heart failure. Main measures: A psychological evaluation was performed in which the following instruments were applied: the Zarit Burden Scale and Scale of Perceived Self-Efficacy in Informal Primary Caregivers of the Chronically Sick. Results: 49.5% (95% CI: 82.12-89.16) of the sample reported a low level of self-efficacy. 27.5% (95% CI: 20.04-22.75) had low burden and 25.7% (95% CI: 37.71-47.78) intense burden. The results of the analysis revealed an inverse relationship between the study variables (r = -0.592), so that the higher the perceived self-efficacy the lower the burden, and vice versa. Conclusions: The burden is one of the most commonly reported negative consequences. Since it is related to the perceived self-efficacy, this finding could be taken into account when designing intervention programs that reduce caregiver burden.
