Intervención farmacológica para disminuir el síndrome de sobrecarga, en cuidadores de pacientes con discapacidad.

Abstract

It is proposed to conduct a research oriented towards a pharmacological intervention to reduce Overload Syndrome in caregivers of people with disabilities who receive the Joaquín Gallegos Lara Bonus. For this purpose, the application of the Zarit Test is proposed to measure the level of overload and the DASS 21 test that evaluates the levels of depression, anxiety and stress. . The application of these evaluation instruments was carried out in two stages, a pretest prior to the application of the pharmacological treatment proposal and a retest in which the results obtained from the treatment are indicated. Socio-epidemiological data are also established that contribute to establishing association relationships with the level of overload. With the achievement of these data at two different times, a comparative analysis was performed applying the McNemar Bowker statistic that establishes significant differences between situations before and after the application of a treatment.The results obtained indicate that caregivers have symptoms of light and intense overload, as well as depression, anxiety and stress, to combat them It was proposed: the application of a basic drug treatment consisting of AINES, anxiolytics and antidepressants. In dose and time depending on the specific needs of the caregivers. The results obtained indicate that the treatments used gave the expected results, reducing the symptoms of the pathologies and raising the number of caregivers without syndrome of overload, depression, anxiety and stress. However, the application of comprehensive treatments is recommended for best results.
