%X Objective: To analyze the vulnerability of caregivers of elderly with dementia. Method: This is an integrative review of quantitative and qualitative nature. The data collection period was from 01/09/14 to 10/30/14. Results: Of the articles analyzed, 26% point interventions to relieve overload; 20% analyze the depression load; 16% of studies address caregiver burden; 14% guided their discussions in physical and spiritual well-being, psychological and social well-being and damage to quality of life; 12% adress stress. Conclusion: Researchers from several countries show the care impact on the life of the caregiver, highlighting: the emotional overload, routine stress, and depressive symptoms. However, there are mitigation measures identified through the research that can contribute to the everyday stress relief, such as the daily practice of yoga meditation, religion, the positive relationship between the family, the elderly and the caregiver.
