Resumen
La calidad de vida del cuidador informal familiar de personas con discapacidad (PCD) intelectual es un tema de poco estudio en Ecuador ya que el foco de atención es la PCD, este trabajo tiene como objetivo caracterizar la calidad de vida de estos cuidadores por medio de la descripción de los determinantes psicológicos que influyen en ella, así como, las áreas de mayor deterioro. Este estudio tiene un enfoque cualitativo, sin embargo se han utilizado instrumentos estandarizados como el cuestionario de Calidad de Vida Q-Les-Q, Cuestionario de Afrontamiento, Test de Coopersmith para comprobar los resultados obtenidos con el instrumento más importante: la entrevista individual.
Los resultados mostraron que sociológicamente, quienes ejercen este rol, por lo general son mujeres con una edad promedio de 60 años, bajo nivel de escolaridad y que mantienen una relación afectiva estrecha con la persona que cuidan; además se pudo evidenciar que las áreas de mayor afectación para el cuidador informal familiar son el tiempo libre y la interacción social. Así mismo se estudiaron los determinantes psicológicos que determinan la percepción de la calidad de vida del cuidador: estilos de afrontamiento, proyecto de vida y autovaloración
