To compare the physical, cognitive and psychological health profile and care context of elder caregivers of the elderly in different home arrangements.
Quantitative and transversal study with elderly caregivers. The sample consisted of 349 caregivers divided into mono-gerational, bi-gerational and multi-generational housing arrangements. Sociodemographic and care questionnaires and physical, cognitive and psychological health assessment instruments were used for evaluation. The Chi-square distribution and Mann Whitney's U were used for data analysis.
Elderly caregivers in mono-generational homes were significantly older and independent for instrumental activities of daily living. In multigenerational households there was a significantly greater proportion of caregivers who considered family income insufficient, received emotional help, and felt overwhelmed and stressed.
The differences identified between the groups can contribute to the elaboration of care policies and for the health promotion of elderly caregivers.
比较不同家庭居住安排下老年照料者的身体、认知和心理健康状况以及照料环境。
对老年照料者进行定量横断面研究。样本包括349名照料者，分为单代同堂、两代同堂和多代同堂居住安排。使用社会人口学和照料问卷以及身体、认知和心理健康评估工具进行评估。采用卡方分布和曼-惠特尼U检验进行数据分析。
单代同堂家庭中的老年照料者年龄显著更大，且在日常生活工具性活动方面具有独立性。在多代同堂家庭中，认为家庭收入不足、获得情感帮助、感到不堪重负和压力大的照料者比例显著更高。
各群体之间发现的差异有助于制定照料政策以及促进老年照料者的健康。
