The objective of this bibliography research was exploring the methods of investigation in the search with the caregivers of elderly with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This review focused the research published between the years 2004 and 2009, through systematic searches conducted in electronic databases, such as LILACS, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and SCIELO. 28,959 publications were found related to the caregivers: MEDLINE (21,308), PsycINFO (6723), LILACS (739) and SciELO (189). The refinement of the search allowed the localization of specific researchs about caregivers of elderly people with AD and demonstrated that the quantitative and empirical methods of research are present in most studies. Research offering qualitative methods and/or the integration of qualitative and quantitative methods are suggested, since the results indicated that the choice of method of qualitative analysis was limited.Downloads
