ABSTRACT
Objetive: to explore the world wide literature advances and content on care
burden in caregivers of children with chronic disease (EC).
Methods: analysis and categorization of the results of a systematic review on data
bases CINAHL, Ovid, Scielo, Medline y PsycInfo, under the key words burden, care
cost, disease cost, family caregiver, children, childhood, chronic disease and chronic
illness match with the key words assessment, measurement, intervention, care and
application.
Results: the scientific production about care burden in caregivers of children with
chronic disease is limited. Only 23 studies were reported. The studies recognized
the impact on the quality of life in the family caregivers of children with chronic
disease that affect specially their psychosocial and socioeconomic aspects.
Measurements of burden of care are diverse and they include among others the
financial situation, the social interaction, the family resistance, the quality of life
and the level of satisfaction with the care. Although some interventions devoted to
diminish anxiety and stress in children with chronic disease caregivers, these are
few in number and they do not have a conceptual framework, nor a systematic
measurement.
Conclusion: care burden in family caregiving of children with chronic disease has
been described in the literature because of its impact in the caregivers. This burden
is measure with different tools that point to the importance of establishing holistic
interventions. It is required to continue in the development and implementation of
a care holistic model that can relief care burden of family caregivers of children with
chronic disease.
