          Abstract

          La insuficiencia renal crónica exige unos cuidados específicos, continuos y variados, lo que afecta a la salud de los cuidadores familiares. Por ello, nos planteamos conocer los problemas de salud de los cuidadores familiares de personas afectadas de insuficiencia renal crónica mayores de 65 años, debido al mayor riesgo y prevalencia a partir de esta edad. Para este fin, se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica en diferentes bases de datos, nacionales e internacionales, de los últimos diez años. Se seleccionaron 19 estudios. Estos hacen referencia a la influencia de la severidad de la carga y a la disminución de la calidad de vida de estos cuidadores, siendo las alteraciones psicológicas los problemas de salud mayormente expuestos. Este conocimiento puede servir para establecer estrategias de abordaje socio-sanitario, que conduzcan hacia la mejora de la calidad de vida, no solo de los cuidadores sino también, de los pacientes.

          Translated abstract

          Chronic renal insufficiency demands specific, continuous and varied care, which affects the health of family caregivers. Therefore, we propose to determine the health problems of family caregivers who care for patients over 65 years with chronic renal failure, due to increased risk and prevalence from this age onwards. For this purpose, we made a systematic review of the scientific literature on different national and international databases in the last ten years. Nineteen studies were selected. These refer to the influence of the severity of the burden and lower quality of life of these caregivers. Psychological disorders are the health problems that are most mentioned. This knowledge may serve for developing strategies for a socio-medical approach, which might lead to improved quality of life, not only of caregivers but also of patients.
