Therefore, the objective of the study was to identify the relationship between depression symptoms of the informal primary caregivers and the dependency that they perceive in the person who is being taken care of. The study design was non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational. The sample was intentional non-probabilistic of 259 informal caregivers. Three data-collection instruments were used: the Patient Health Questionnaire, the Depression Scale (PHQ-8), and the Barthel Scale, which is used for measuring the capacity of a person to carry out 10 basic everyday activities. The average age of the caregivers in this study was 49.6 years, with a predominance of the female sex (82.6 %), and most of the patients’ caregivers were their daughters (38.2 %). The caregivers’ perceived percentage of dependence was placed in the moderate dependence category, with 32.4 %. Results show a small but significant correlation (r = - 0.159, P = 0.010) between dependence and symptoms of depression. The group of caregivers of people with severe dependence showed greater depressive symptoms than their caregiver peers of people with moderate dependence (P = 0.014). Informal primary caregivers reported greater depressive symptoms when they perceived more dependence in their relatives with chronic illnesses. Existen diversas problemáticas que afectan la salud y el desempeño de un cuidador. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar la relación entre síntomas de depresión de los cuidadores primarios informales y la dependencia que perciben en la persona cuidada. El diseño del estudio fue no experimental, transversal y correlacional. La muestra fue no probabilística, intencional, de 259 cuidadores informales. Se utilizó el Cuestionario sobre la salud del paciente, Escala de Depresión (PHQ-8) y la Escala de Barthel, empleada para medir la capacidad de la persona para realizar 10 actividades básicas de la vida diaria. La edad promedio de los cuidadores de este estudio fue de 49.6 años, con predominio del sexo femenino, con 82.6 %; en el parentesco del cuidador, en su mayoría fueron hijas (38.2 %). El porcentaje de dependencia percibida por los cuidadores se ubicó en la categoría de dependencia moderada, con el 32.4 %. Los resultados muestran una correlación pequeña pero significativa (r = - 0.159, P = 0.010) entre dependencia y síntomas de depresión. El grupo de cuidadores de personas con dependencia severa presentó mayor sintomatología depresiva que sus pares cuidadores de personas con dependencia moderada (P = 0.014). Los cuida dores primarios informales reportaron mayor sintomatología depresiva cuando percibieron más dependencia en sus familiares con enfermedades crónicas.
