Abstract

Objective: To identify the overload in the lives of family caregivers of people affected by mental disorders during the covid-19 pandemic. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, with 94 family members of CAPS III users diagnosed with mental disorders in Manaus-AM. Data collection was carried out using two instruments, one being a form designed for sociodemographic characterization and the FBIS-BR Family Burden Assessment Scale. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics using the IBM SPSS Statistics software. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: The mean age was 47 years old (SD:13.9), with a female majority (67%), with high school education (45.7%). Regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, 71.3% felt more overwhelmed during this period. Regarding the objective overload, the item that generated the most overload was food preparation (74.5%). With regard to subjective burden, the item that most contributed was concern for the patient's future (89.3%), and patient monitoring in relation to suicidal ideation (78.6%). Conclusion: The interviewed family caregivers of patients with mental disorders showed a high objective burden and subjective burden and that they have a great need for psychological support.
