The prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases in older adults is a challenge for those who exercise the role of caregivers. This research aims to analyze the possible relationships of caregiver burden with resilience and mental health in formal caregivers of older adults with neurodegenerative diseases. Zarit Burden Scale (Zarit et al., 1980), the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale 21 (Lovibond and Lovibond, 1995) and the Resilience Scale (Connor-Davidson, 2003) was used for measurement. Among the main findings, according to the descriptive analyses, it stands out the presence of low levels (absence, mild) of clinical symptoms in formal caregivers. Regarding the general objective, caregiver burden showed a significant association with mental health and its scales, with the strongest correlation being the area of stress. Additionally, a significant relationship with resilience was not obtained. Regarding resilience, it showed a significant and inverse correlation with mental health and its scales, with the exception of stress. On the other hand, regarding the specific objectives, the results show variations in the caregiver burden in relation to the age of the caregiver (r= .22, p< .01). Furthermore, differences were found in terms of mental health and the number of specialization courses that the caregiver has had. Finally, significant differences were found in resilience according to the time that the person has been working as a caregiver.
