| Abstract (English): | The COVID-19 pandemic has had an disproportioned impact in Colombia in terms of incidence and mortality. Family caregivers of people with chronic illness take on long-term care in the home setting amid hospital collapse. Objective: To describe, correlate and identify predictor variables of knowledge, attitudes, practices, stress and fear of COVID-19 in family caregivers of people with chronic disease. Methodology: A predictive crosssectional study was conducted with 104 family caregivers of people with chronic disease in Bogotá-Colombia. The instruments of characterization, fear, stress, knowledge, attitudes and practices before COVID-19 were applied online in the second semester of 2020. Results: A mean of 23.07 (SD = 7.2) was observed in fear, 93.18 (SD = 31.6) in stress, 10.1 (SD = 1.9) in knowledge, 1.34 (SD=0.8) in attitudes and 1.89 (SD=0.3) in practices, which shows that, although knowledge, attitudes and practices have high levels, there is a high level of stress and fear of COVID-19. There is a direct relationship between fear and stress in the face of COVID-19, with worse scores in women and people with a low level of knowledge. Conclusion: Training and sustained support is required for family caregivers, who amidst the fear and stress of COVID-19 continue to support the long-term care of chronic patients in the home environment.

| Abstract (Spanish): | La pandemia por COVID-19 ha tenido un impacto sobredimensionado en Colombia en términos de incidencia y mortalidad. Cuidadores familiares de personas con enfermedad crónica asumen el cuidado a largo plazo en el entorno domiciliario en medio del colapso hospitalario. Objetivo: describir, correlacionar e identificar variables predictoras de los conocimientos, actitudes, prácticas, estrés y temor ante la COVID-19 en cuidadores familiares de personas con enfermedad crónica. Metodología: se realizó un estudio trasversal predictivo con 104 cuidadores familiares de personas con enfermedad crónica en Bogotá, Colombia. En el que los instrumentos de caracterización, temor, estrés, conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas ante el COVID-19 fueron aplicados en línea en el segundo semestre de 2020. Resultados: se observó una media de 23.07 (DE=7.2) en temor, 93.18 (DE=31.6) en estrés, 10.1 (DE=1.9) en conocimientos, 1.34 (DE=0.8) en actitudes y 1.89 (DE=0.3), lo que muestra que, aunque los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas tienen niveles altos, se observan altos niveles de estrés y temor ante el COVID-19. Hay una relación directa entre el temor y estrés ante el COVID-19, con peores puntajes en mujeres y personas con bajo nivel de conocimiento. Conclusión: se requiere capacitación y apoyo sostenido a los cuidadores familiares, quienes, en medio del temor y estrés ante el COVID-19, continúan sosteniendo el cuidado a largo plazo de enfermos crónicos en el entorno domiciliario.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | A pandemia pelo COVID-19 tem tido um impacto sobre dimensionado na Colômbia em termos de incidência e mortalidade. Cuidadores familiares de pessoas com doença crónica assumem o cuidado a longo prazo no entorno domiciliário em meio do colapso hospitalário. Objetivo: descrever, correlacionar e identificar variáveis preditoras dos conhecimentos, atitudes, práticas, estresse e temor perante a COVID-19 em cuidadores familiares de pessoas com doença crónica. Metodologia: Realizou-se um estudo transversal preditivo com 104 cuidadores familiares de pessoas com doença crónica em Bogotá, Colômbia. No que os instrumentos de caracterização, temor, estresse, conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas perante a COVID-19 foram aplicados online no segundo semestre de 2020.

Há uma relação direta entre o temor e estresse perante a COVID-19, com piores pontuações em mulheres e pessoas com baixo nível de conhecimento. Conclusão: Requer-se capacitação e apoio sustentado aos cuidadores familiares, quem, em meio do temor e estresse perante a COVID-19, continuam sustentando o cuidado a longo prazo de doentes crónicos no entorno domiciliário.
