Family caregiving in Brazil has become increasingly important over the years. Although the whole family is generally affected, caregiving is usually carried out by only one family member who undertakes the caregiving activities. As a result, many family caregivers face problems that jeopardize their health due to the overload of work and lack of caregiving skills. The chief objective of this study was to identify the profile of family caregivers of elderly persons admitted to the Mandaqui General Hospital in São Paulo. Research was conducted in two stages. Firstly, we interviewed 107 elderly patients at the hospital, 25 of whom were singled out as needing home care upon discharge. In the second phase, we sought to make contact with those patients family members who would act as caregivers. The research included six female caregivers aged 27-77 years old, with low education, good health conditions, and a restricted social life. The interviews revealed that family caregivers deserve particular attention as they are often unprepared to cope with the illness of an elderly family member for a prolonged period of time. The results of this study provided a social, economic and health profile of family caregivers, which was further presented to the Elderly Care Center of the São Paulo State Health Department / Esta pesquisa sobre o cuidador familiar do idoso dependente, baseou-se no aumento do número de idosos portadores de doenças crônico-degenerativas, com perda da independência e autonomia. Cuidar do doente no domicílio tornou-se cada vez mais freqüente, embora toda família seja afetada, o cuidado recai, especialmente sobre um único membro que passa a desempenhar as atividades do cuidado, em virtude disto o cuidador familiar enfrenta muitos problemas que colocam em risco a sua saúde, devido à sobrecarga de trabalho e pouca habilidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar o perfil socioeconômico e de saúde do cuidador familiar do idoso que internou no Hospital Geral Mandaqui-SP. Esta pesquisa deu-se em dois momentos. Entrevistamos no hospital 107 idosos internados, dos quais selecionamos 25 que precisariam de cuidado após a alta hospitalar. No segundo momento estabelecemos contato com o familiar na busca dos seus cuidadores, fazendo parte desta pesquisa seis cuidadoras com idade entre 27 a 77 anos, do sexo feminino, que apresentam baixa escolaridade, boas condições de saúde, restrição na vida social. Constatou-se que o cuidador familiar merece atenção, por encontrar-se despreparado para enfrentar a condição da doença prolongada. A partir desta pesquisa, foi possível mostrar ao Centro de Referência do Idoso, o perfil do cuidador familiar quanto às condições socioeconômicas e de saúde
