    Background. The competence for home health care is part of the fundamental features required when taking care of people with chronic disease. It is described as the ability, the skill and the preparation the user or their family caregiver possesses in order to perform the work of caring. Objective. To describe and compare the competence for home health care in Colombian people with chronic illness and their family caregivers in the different regions of Colombia. Materials and Methods. Quantitative, descriptive, comparative and cross-sectional study conducted between 2012 and 2014 in the five geographical regions of Colombia. The sample consists of 2231 participants including people with chronic illness and family caregivers. The measurement instruments used were the Survey for the characterization of the caring Dyad patient - family caregiver GCPC-UN-D, and the Home health care competence instrument “GCPCUN-CPC”, both in its patient and family caregiver versions. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the home health care competence. For comparison of the groups nonparametric tests for independent samples were used. Results. People with chronic illness and their family caregivers have heterogeneous levels of home health caring competence in the different regions of Colombia. In both cases the higher levels are found in the Amazon region, while the lowest are found in the Pacific region. These levels of home health care competence are far away from the required ones to ensure quality and safety in the care of these patients. Conclusion. The indicators for the evaluation of home health care competence must address patients and their family caregiver as well as the health human talent, health institutions and the Social Security System in order to understand in a better way and change the current vulnerability in home health care practices in the country.

    Objective: To describe and compare the burden level of the male and female relative caregivers of people with chronic diseases in Colombia. Methodology: A descriptive and comparative cross-sectional study that was carried out between 2012 and 2014 with 1,555 relative caregivers of people with chronic disease living in the five geographical regions of Colombia. The GCPC-A-C instruments for characterization and the Caregiver Perception of Burden Survey of Zarit in order to determine the perceived burden were used. Results: In the group of relative caregivers of the study, 80.3% belong to the Andean region, 5.6% were from the Pacific region, 3.6 % from the Orinoco region, 6.6% from the Caribbean region, and 3.6% from the Amazon region. The average age is 50. Most of them are spouses, children or parents of the care receiver and they spend at least a quarter of the day for his/ her work as caregivers. Most of them have more than 36 months caring for the sick relative. 31% of male caregivers and 33% of female careers expressed to be experiencing an overload with the care of his/her relative. Conclusions: The findings reflect the existence of a majority of female relative caregivers of people with chronic disease, as reported in another studies in Latin America. Unlike previous research, there is no strong difference in the perceived and the expressed load by caregivers, according to gender.

    Entrevista Percepción de Carga del Cuidado de Zarit: Pruebas psicométricas para Colombia
    (2015-03-11) Barreto Osorio, Ruth Vivian; Campos de Aldana, María-Stella; Carrillo González, Gloria Mabel; Coral Ibarra, Rosa del Carmen; Chaparro Díaz, Lorena; Durán Parra, Myriam; Rosales Jiménez, Rosario; Ortiz Nievas, Vilma Tamara
    Objective: This research was designed to determine the validity and reliability of the Zarit Burden Interview, specifically the 22-item Spanish version, as an instrument to measure the burden of care perceived by family caregivers of patients in Colombia with chronic diseases. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study of 652 family caregivers of patients with chronic diseases who reside in five regions of Colombia was conducted to establish construct validity, with a factor analysis and internal consistency reliability measured by determining the Cronbach’s alpha value. Result: In terms of construct validity, the study reports the total loading, based on free association of a varimax rotation, and in the dimensions that include interpersonal burden, impact of care, and skills and expectations about care. The factor loadings pertain to the items introduced to measure each of the proposed dimensions. Conclusion: The results showed the 22-item Spanish version of the Zarit Burden Interview is an instrument that can be applied and understood easily in a Colombian population with different educational, socio-economic and cultural levels. It also proved to be valid and reliable for assessing the burden of care perceived by family caregivers of patients with chronic diseases.

    Habilidad de cuidado y sobrecarga en cuidadores familiares de personas con enfermedad crónica
    (2016) Carreño Moreno, Sonia; Barreto Osorio, Ruth Vivian; Durán Parra, Myriam; Támara Ortiz, Vilma; Romero, Elizabeth
    Introduction: Caregiver burden has proved to be a variable that is related to gender factors, the functionality of the care recipient, the time spent on care, among others. Additional research to determine if the burden of care is related to the caring ability of the family caregiver is required. Objective: To determine the correlation between burden of care and caring in family caregivers of people with chronic illness and to compare that relationship in the different regions of Colombia. Methods: Quantitative study, with a correlational approach. The sample included 2040 caregivers of people with chronic illness of the Andean, Pacific, Caribbean and Amazon regions in Colombia. Informed consent process was performed. Data were collected with the Caring Ability Inventory of Nkonghoy and with the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview. The statistical approach was done with the Spearman Rho test. Results : In Colombia and in its Amazonic and Pacific regions, a weak negative statistically significant correlation (p <0.01) was observed. In the Caribbean Region, a moderate and statistically significant negative correlation (p <0.01). In the Andean region, no connection between the ability of care and caregiver burden was found. Conclusion: A weak but statistically significant relationship between the ability of care and caregiver burden was found in Colombia, except in the Andean region were no correlation was founded. Interventions in strengthening the ability of care, could be useful in decreasing caregivers burden with care.
