    This study analyzed caregiver burden among individuals with disabilities at the Loma Health Center in Quito, aiming to identify the levels of physical, emotional, social, and economic burden they face. The Zarit Burden Interview was administered to 24 caregivers using a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional approach. Data were processed using SPSS software, employing descriptive statistical analysis and pairedsamples t-tests. The results showed that most caregivers scored above 47, indicating the presence of mild to severe burden. The most affected factors were emotional exhaustion, loss of personal time, physical strain, and social isolation. Economic difficulties and feelings of sole responsibility for the family member were also observed. The most significant differences were found in the emotional, social, and economic dimensions, confirming that burden manifests primarily through stress, fatigue, and a loss of personal control. In conclusion, it can be said that caregivers of people with disabilities at the Loma de Quito Health Center require psychological support, professional guidance, and respite care to reduce the impact of caregiving on their health and well-being. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening family support programs and public policies that recognize and support the work of caregivers as an essential component of the comprehensive healthcare system.

    The present research work aims to determine the influence of the overload syndrome on the quality of life of the caregiver of patients with disabilities in the first level of care. The care environment that is provided to a person with a disability demands great responsibility with total use of time to provide care to the dependent patient and with it the consequent work overload that in turn will produce negative effects on the physical, emotional, social and quality of life of the caregiver. The study methodology is quantitative, field, bibliographic and correlational. The study population is 50 caregivers of patients with disabilities belonging to the Pilahuín parish. The research techniques and instruments were the survey based on the WHO SF-36 questionnaire to establish the level of quality of life and the Zarit Test was used to determine which population of caregivers suffers from overload syndrome. The results determined that 76% present a medium- high level of quality of life, also 52% present mild overload, while 32% do not suffer from overload and 16% have severe overload. It is concluded that overload syndrome influences the quality of life of caregivers of patients with disabilities, there is asignificant relationship between the variables. The proposal is the design of a health promotion strategy aimed at caregivers of patients with disabilities for the prevention ofoverload syndrome
