| Spanish abstract | Los cuidadores fueron mayormente mujeres, con parentesco de hija y esposa. Se detectó una correlación negativa y estadísticamente significativa (rs= -.160, p= 0.01) entre la sobrecarga y competencias del cuidar. Discusión. El perfil de los cuidadores de este estudio concuerda con la literatura internacional. La correlación entre las variables de investigación se ha documentado en escasos estudios, por lo que representa un avance de conocimiento en el ámbito de los cuidadores. Conclusión. Se evidenció una correlación que se puede interpretar de la siguiente manera: “a mayor sobrecarga, menor competencias del cuidar”. Hallazgo que evidencia necesidades en conocimientos y habilidades para ejercer de forma óptima el rol de cuidador y por ende, tener la capacidad de afrontar situaciones de sobrecarga |
| English abstract | Introduction: When people develop chronic diseases and their possible complications, it leads to the need to receive care from someone in social or family contexts. This person becomes an informal caregiver. By playing this role, this person can experience situations or characteristics inherent to caregivers, which impact caregiving competencies and overload. These aspects could affect the caregiver-care receiver dyad. Objective. To identify the relationship between caregiving competencies and overload in informal caregivers of people with chronic diseases. Methods. A transversal, correlational study, n= 259, on informal caregivers of people with chronic diseases, users of two general hospitals in Tamaulipas, selected through intentional non-probability sampling. A sociodemographic data form and the Zarit and CUIDAR instruments were used. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied for the analysis. Results. Caregivers were mostly women, with kinship as daughters or wives. A negative, statistically significant correlation was detected (rs= -.160, p= 0.01) between overload and caregiving competencies. Discussion. Caregivers’ profiles in this study concur with international literature. The correlation between research variables has been documented in very few studies, reason why it represents progress in knowledge in the field of caregiving. Conclusion. A correlation that can be interpreted as follows was observed: “more overload implies less caregiving competencies.” This finding demonstrates the need for knowledge and skills to optimally provide care and, therefore, have the capacity to face overload situations |

Foi detectada correlação negativa e estatisticamente significante (rs= -.160, p= 0.01) entre a sobrecarga e as competências do cuidar. Discussão. O perfil dos cuidadores deste estudo concorda com a literatura internacional. A correlação entre as variáveis de pesquisa foi documentada em poucos estudos e, portanto, representa um avanço no conhecimento na área de cuidadores. Conclusão. Evidenciou-se uma correlação que pode ser interpretada da seguinte forma: “quanto maior a sobrecarga, menor a competência do cuidar”. Achado que evidencia a necessidade de conhecimentos e habilidades para exercer de maneira ideal o papel de cuidador e, por tanto, ter a capacidade de enfrentar situações de sobrecarga |
