Abstract

Caregiver overload exhausts the person both emotionally and physically, where both negative aspects are perceived that affect their health, therefore, the objective of the study is to determine the level of caregiver overload of patients diagnosed with stroke in a specialized hospital institution in Metropolitan Lima. It is a descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional study, with a population of 100 family caregivers, who answered a questionnaire of sociodemographic aspects and the Zarit instrument. In their results, 22% (n=22) have an absence of overload, 25% (n=25) light overload and 53% (n=53) intense overload. In conclusion, support systems for family members and caregivers of stroke patients should be strengthened.
