The illness of one family member has an effect on the whole family system and requires adaptation. It changes the routine, habits and customs of the family, especially for the one person who takes the role of the caregiver. Hence this study aims to describe the socio-cultural data of the care takers of psychiatric patients, as well as investigate the psychological dynamic, adaptive efficiency, quality of the sectors of human adaptation and perception of caregivers in relation to routine care. Method: This is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, which investigates 25 participants, who are caregivers of psychiatric patients. The instruments used are the Adaptive Operational Diagnostic Self-Report Scale (EDAO-AR) and the Interview Script. The results showed that the caregiver's profile has as main characteristic the degree of kinship with the patient, mothers or spouses are predominant, primarily because they are women. Regarding the adaptive efficiency, it was identified that all caregivers have "Adaption Ineffectiveness" ranging from mild, moderate and severe. The caregiver's perceptions of difficulties and needs were identified as related to physical, mental and social overload and a range of feelings and expectations aroused in the relationship of care. Finally, it was found that the act of being a psychiatric patient, family caregiver brings on many changes in their life and at such context, it is understood that it is extremely important to identify the needs of caregivers to ease the burdens that affect and denouncing ineffective adaptation.
