Abstract

Methods: This is a quantitative research, of the analytical type, carried out in a Brazilian municipality of southeastern Pará state. The analysis was based on the simple linear regression between the caregiver's QOL and socioeconomic status and severity of dementia. Results: A total of 24 caregivers were included in the study according to inclusion criteria, 83% female and 17% male, aged 41-59 years, equivalent to 66%. Being 66% children, 33.3% were low income inferred, and 58.3% were low income higher and only 8.3% lower. Final considerations: The analysis showed a moderate relationship between caregiver QoL and socioeconomic status, and a strong relationship between QoL and the degree of dementia. This relationship directly interferes with the care given to the family member with AD.
