world and is seen in the coming years in the number of
cases. Due to the great impact that the disease caused on
health, patient care burned both the patient and his
family, providing the necessary support. The disease and
hospitalization took on the role of new roles, which can
affect the family and generate future growth and
development of the patient, education and emotional
relationships. OBJECTIVES: The main objective is to analyze
through a bibliographic review through the physical and
emotional repercussions of the informal caregiver of the
adult oncological patient. METHODOLOGY: A bibliographic
search was conducted between December 2017 and February
2018, using the following databases: PubMed, Cuiden,
Cochrane Library, Bibliographic Index in Health Sciences
(IBECS) and Scielo. Also, articles have been searched in
Elsevier. DEVELOPMENT: 26 articles have been selected with
the search profiles. The literary review indicates that the
most frequent physical repercussions are fatigue, fatigue
and pain; while the psychological ones focus on anxiety,
depression, sleep disorders and anguish. CONCLUSIONS: The
caregiver has an important role in the patient's illness,
therefore, the need for interventions and health programs
aimed at education and support to the caregiver to improve
their quality of life and that is reflected in the care of
the patient. KEY WORDS: "Caregiver", "Psycho-oncology",
