The objective of this research was to evaluate the quality of life of caregivers of patients attended at the PNE clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul / UFRGS. A longitudinal, observational and analytical study was performed. After the signing of the TCLE, a consolidated questionnaire (Teixeira in 2005) was applied by four examiners to 97 PNE caregivers who attended the dental care clinic for FO-UFRGS PNE. As a result, 51.54% (n = 50) were aged between 40 and 59 years; 89.7% (n = 87) were female, 75.3% (n = 73) of whom were mothers; 34% (n = 33) have completed high school; 59.8% (n = 58) are housewives, and 73.2% (n = 71) live with income between 1 and 3 minimum wages; (N = 57) think that having quality is to be healthy, and 67% (n = 65) feel that because of the time that they take care of a PNE patient does not have enough time for himself, but 52.6% (n 51) do not feel stressed to take care of the patient and his other responsibilities with the family, 66% (n = 64) do not feel that their health was 73.2% (n = 70) do not feel that their social life has been impaired because they are caring for the patient, and 70.1% (n = 68) feel they do not have enough money to care for their patients. take care of the patient, adding up his other expenses; 65% (n = 63) did not feel overwhelmed by caring for the patient, 88.6% (n = 86) stated that they would not like to simply let someone else take care of the patient, 48.45% (n = 47) there were no changes in the family environment after the patient's diagnosis, and 54.6% (n = 53) answered that they did not do anything because of their relative's illness. Thus, the results of this work demonstrate the need for attention not only to patients but also to their caregivers who need a multidisciplinary approach and a support network aimed at improving their quality of life.
