Resumen
Introducción: Debido a la infección congénita, las niñas y los niños con microcefalia tienen grandes limitaciones en su estado de salud. Estas limitaciones hacen que necesiten más atención sanitaria y domiciliaria. Generalmente, la madre se convierte en la principal cuidadora y este papel puede llevar a la sobrecarga, con perjuicio para su calidad de vida.
Objetivo: Analizar la sobrecarga de cuidado y la calidad de vida de las madres o personas cuidadoras primarias de niñas o niños con microcefalia, relacionada con infección congénita.
Método: Estudio transversal, correlacional realizado con 105 participantes del estado de Sergipe, Brasil, de octubre de 2017 a abril de 2018, a través de la aplicación de los siguientes cuestionarios: sociodemográfico, el WHOQOL-Bref y escala de sobrecarga del cuidador. Para el análisis estadístico, se utilizaron ANOVA, prueba t y prueba Person (r).
Resultados: Población totalmente femenina. El 39 % se clasificó con sobrecarga severa y el 30.5 % con sobrecarga intensa. La sobrecarga media total (49.47) indica una clasificación de moderada a grave. Hubo una fuerte asociación (p<0.0001) entre los niveles de carga y los dominios de la calidad de vida, siendo los mayores daños ambientales (36.57) y físicos (38.53). Se observó una correlación significativa e inversamente proporcional (r=-0.547, p<0.0001) entre la calidad de vida y la sobrecarga de la persona cuidadora cuidador.
Conclusión: Las madres sufren una sobrecarga severa e intensa que influye negativamente en su calidad de vida. La enfermería puede contribuir para la creación e implementación de líneas de atención específicas para estas mujeres con énfasis en la promoción de la salud física y mental y la mejora de la calidad de vida.
