Abstract
Objective: To analyze the relationship between burden and quality of life of informal caregivers of older adults cared for in a medium complexity outpatient clinic. Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study conducted with 20 caregivers of older adults cared for in a medium complexity Health Unit in the city of São Carlos-SP. The following instruments were applied: questionnaire for socio-demographic characterization, Zarit Burden Inventory, and Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Scale. The interviews were conducted at the Health Unit, during the care procedures with the older adults. All ethical issues have been respected. In the data analysis, the T-test, ANOVA, Pearson and Spearman Correlation Coefficient were used, with a significance level of 5%. Results: There was a negative correlation between burden and quality of life (ρ=0.63; p=0.003). Conclusion: Caregivers with high burden scores may present worse quality of life scores.
