Abstract
Objective: To analyze the relationship of the care burden of the dyad in cancer situations in Bogotá. Methodology: Quantitative and correlation with standard dyadic design of reciprocal type. The sample consisted of 80 dyads (Caregiver-Cancer Patient). A characterization card of the dyad, caretaker - person with chronic illness, the Zarit burden Interview and the Instrument of burden of chronic illness for the patient were used. An analysis was made based on descriptive statistics and measures of central tendency, to know the profile of the participating dyads; Spearman correlation tests and canonical correlation were used; And non-parametric tests to evaluate the behavior of the variables of the selected measurement instruments. Results: It is corroborated that the female gender is predominant in the dyads and in productive age. The dyads of the study were characterized by taking little time of care. Family caregivers had a low overload and people with cancer expressed feelings ofemotional, physical and occupational aspects. We identified a weak relationship between caregiver andperson with cancer loads from Spearman correlation tests and canonical coefficient. Indicators of theburden on the quality of life mediated by the wells measured in the dyad through the Kruskall Wallistest, related to cultural and economic factors, were determined; and physical and psycho-emotionalwell-being. Conclusions: The dyads are in an individualized coping mediated by a short time link,present in the early stages of chronic disease; However, there are some characteristics that merit furtherresearch to deepen the phenomenon.

Existe una baja relación entre las dimensiones de sobrecarga del cuidador y de la persona con cáncer, porque su proceso de afrontamiento en el momento lo vive por separado, lo cual, hace parte del proceso de formación del vínculo de la díada
[Internet] Modelo para abordar la carga del cuidado de la enfermedad crónica en Colombia
Summary
El cáncer es una de las enfermedades crónicas que va en aumento en cuanto a las cifras de incidencia y mortalidad, mostrando así que es un fenómeno necesario de estudiar y abordar desde diferentes disciplinas. Todos estos aspectos producen en la familia, en el cuidador principal y en la persona con cáncer una sensación de desgaste o sobrecarga, por llevar a cabo determinadas tareas, esfuerzos e inquietudes adicionales derivados del cuidado, lo que tiene un efecto negativo en la calidad de vida. Investigadores de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, en el marco de un estudio en el país, propusieron el Modelo para la disminución de la carga de la Enfermedad Crónica No Transmisible, el cual propone que la carga del cuidado “es el esfuerzo adicional que implica satisfacer las necesidades de las personas con enfermedad crónica, de sus cuidadores familiares y profesionales, de las instituciones y del SGSSS y la sociedad en general”(4). A partir del planteamiento anterior, se busca analizar las relaciones de la carga de cuidado en la diada en situaciones de cáncer vinculadas a una institución de Bogotá D.C
