Abstract
[Resumen] La salud autopercibida es un elemento clave a la hora de minimizar el impacto
socioeconómico generado por el cuidado de personas mayores con dependencia. En este
estudio, se pretende caracterizar a un colectivo de personas cuidadoras informales de
acuerdo a dicha variable. Se realizó un estudio transversal con un grupo de cuidadores
seleccionados por muestreo no probabilístico incidental, en el área urbana de A Coruña
y área rural de Mondoñedo (Lugo). En nuestro estudio, el género y el hábitat se han
mostrado como dos variables de gran relevancia a la hora de establecer las necesidades
de apoyo de los cuidadores informales de acuerdo a su autopercepción de la salud.
