Abstract
The aim of this research is to understand the typical caregivers of persons suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementias in the city of Huelva. The sample was taken from caregivers of differing sex, age, social class, family and profession. A questionnaire was developed in order to collect the relevant data in order to establish a profile of the caregivers. The results show that the caregiver profile is characterized by female between 50 and 55 years old, married, who has been caring for the sickly for 6 or 7 years, sharing the same home with the ill person with a lack of relief from family rotation. These caregivers often have little time for leisure and have, at times, had to leave their working life to cope with care.
Resumen
El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en conocer el perfil de los cuidadores de los enfermos de Alzheimer y otras demencias en la ciudad de Huelva. La muestra fue conformada por cuidadores de enfermos de Alzheimer de diferente sexo, edad, y condiciones sociales, familiares y laborales. Para la recogida de datos se elaboró un cuestionario que proporcionó la información necesaria. Los resultados indican que el perfil del cuidador comprende en lo fundamental características como: ser mujer de entre 50 y 55 años, estar casada, estar cuidando al enfermo entre 6 o 7 años, compartir el mismo domicilio con la persona enferma y no gozar de rotación familiar. Estas cuidadoras suelen tener poco tiempo para el ocio y en ocasiones han abandonado su vida laboral para asumir los cuidados.
