Resumen

MARES-RICO, Karina Fernanda et al. Anxiety, depression and loneliness in caregivers of people with chronic illness. Index Enferm [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.3, pp.166-169.  Epub 06-Feb-2023. ISSN 1699-5988.

Objective:

To determine the relationship between anxiety, depression and loneliness in family caregivers of older adults with chronic diseases.

Methodology:

Correlational descriptive design. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (α=.83) and the Loneliness Scale (α=.95) were used. A sample size calculation was made with the G-Power 3.1.9.7 program and a convenience sample was applied. It was analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics, such as Pearson and Chi2.

Main results:

178 family caregivers with an M of 45 years participated. A relationship was found between age and perception of loneliness (r=-.200) and care time with depression (r=-.199) and anxiety (r=-.179) scores.

Main conclusion:

It was found that, the older the caregiver, the greater the perception of loneliness and the longer the care time, the lower the depression and anxiety, allowing the implementation of future care programs to improve the quality of life of caregivers.
