Abstract

Objective: to associate anxiety, depression and stress with  sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, health status  and data on the provision of care in caregivers of cerebrovascular accident survivors. Method: cross-sectional study conducted with 151 informal primary caregivers in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. A semi-structured instrument and the Anxiety, Depression and Stress-21 Scale were used, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: caregivers with more years of study had a higher mean of stress. Those who always felt tired had higher means for anxiety, depression and stress, as did those who mentioned their health status as poor and those who devoted more than 10 hours a week to care. Participants who did not practice leisure activities had higher means of depression and stress, those who helped with medication were related to a higher average of anxiety and those who helped with mobility reported higher means of depression and stress. Conclusions: it was observed that the levels of anxiety, depression and stress were influenced by some personal characteristics, life habits, health situation and characteristics of the care provided to the family member who suffered a cerebrovascular accident.
