Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The care of a dependent patient has greater implication if the diagnostic is the disease of Alzheimer's, their quality of life is affected considerably in the aspects related to health. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the effect of a multicomponent and transdisciplinary intervention on health-related quality of life in informal caregivers of patients with Alzheimer-type Major Neurocognitive Disorder (TNC). METHODS: 50 informal caregivers of Alzheimer's patients participated, using the SF-36 questionnaire, through a randomized trial with three comparison groups and quality assessment at baseline, and at 5 and 10 months. To find the effect size of the quality of life interventions, according to the groups studied, a mixed effects model with unstructured covariance was used. RESULTS: it was found that those who received the multicomponent intervention plus respite obtained an improvement in the quality of life in all dimensions and components except physical function, with sustained effects in follow-up. CONCLUSION: multicomponent non-pharmacological interventions accompanied by a change of care have a positive effect on the perception of quality of life in caregivers.
