Article Synopsis
- The article compares work overload levels among caregivers of children and adolescents at a Psychosocial Care Center in Pelotas, Brazil, and examines its relationship with the mental health of both the children and the caregivers.
- Caregiver workload was measured using the Zarit Burden Interview scale, while children's mental health was evaluated with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and caregiver mental health was assessed using the Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20).
- Significant findings showed that caregivers experienced higher work overload linked to children with behavioral issues and that factors such as caregiver gender and legal problems involving the child contributed to increased stress, highlighting the need for support programs for caregivers.
