ABSTRACT

Informal Primary Caregivers of oncohematological patients face different stressors and challenges than other caregiver populations due to particularities of the malignant blood neoplasm that affect their patients, which can lead to stress, depression, anxiety, caregiver burden and, in consequence, decrease in quality of life. This study was aimed to identify the demographic and psychological variables of informal primary caregivers of patients with a oncohematological illness, which could have an important impact on their role and quality of life and therefore they require attention by health team. It is about transversal, descriptive- comparative pilot research. Demographic variables, depression, stress, caregiver burden, coping strategies and quality of life were evaluated in 8 oncohematological patients’ informal primary caregivers. A descriptive and inferential comparative analysis was performed. They were moderate levels of depression, stress and overload, low levels of coping strategies and good quality of life were obtained. Only a statistically significant difference (z=-2.33; p=.019) was found in overload (expectations of self-efficacy), with respect to the type of disease. In conclusion, it is important to evaluate oncohematological caregivers to offer interventions that help them to better face the situations that arise.
