    Antecedentes: la esquizofrenia es una enfermedad mental grave que no solo tiene un impacto significativo en el paciente, sino también en la familia. Los cuidadores asumen casi la totalidad de los cuidados de los pacientes. Esta responsabilidad expone a los cuidadores a una intensa sobrecarga con consecuencias negativas para ellos y el resto del sistema familiar. Este estudio se trata de una revisión actualizada de la bibliografía existente acerca de la sobrecarga en familias con pacientes con esquizofrenia. Método: se realizó una búsqueda electrónica de artículos de bases de datos MEDLINE, EMBASE, APA, EBSCO y Cochrane para artículos publicados entre 2008 y 2013. Resultados: una sistematización de la información y un análisis de frecuencia reveló la existencia de ocho factores relacionados con la sobrecarga que se presentaron en casi toda la literatura revisada: programas de tratamiento familiar, grupo étnico, Emoción Expresada, estrés y sobrecarga, preocupaciones del cuidador, tipo de persona que lo cuida, redes sociales, apoyo social, finanzas y estrategias de afrontamiento. Conclusiones: este estudio evidencia el apoyo a las diversas teorías planteadas sobre el tema, reflejando la complejidad de la relación de los factores mencionados anteriormente en la sobrecarga de los cuidadores de pacientes con esquizofrenia.

    Background: Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental illness that has a significant impact not only in the patient but also in the entire family as well. Caregivers assume almost the totality of the patient care. This responsibility exposes caregivers to an intense burden with negative consequences for them and the rest of the family system. This is an updated review of existing literature about burden on families with schizophrenia patients. Method: An electronic search of articles from MEDLINE, EMBASE, APA, EBSCO, and Cochrane databases was conducted for articles published between 2008 and 2013. Results: A systematization of information and frequency analysis revealed the existence of eight factors related to burden that were present in almost all the reviewed literature: Programs of family treatment, Ethnic group, Expressed Emotion, Stress and Burden, Preoccupations of the caregiver, Kind of caregiver, Social networks, Social support, Finances and Coping Strategies. Conclusions: This study supports the statements of different theories reflecting the complexity of schizophrenia caregivers� burden and these, in turn, may be related to the above factors.
