“…This consistent finding has led to efforts to quantify the cost associated with informal care by families and to consider providing employee benefits or government subsidies to support family caregiving, especially for women who leave employment to care for parents who need care. 35,36,37 In relation to an age issue, the finding in this study revealed that about one third of the participants aged 60 years old and older. Although some previous study 38 found that the more advanced age, the more mature and experienced people have in care providing skills.…”

Objective: Stroke survivors suffer from multiple health problems, leading to physical and psychological impairments or disabilities. Largely, family caregivers encounter stressful situations when providing stroke care at home, however, little is known about their quality of life (QOL) and its determinants. This study aimed to identify the determinants of QOL among Thai family caregivers of stroke survivors. Methods: The sample consisted of stroke caregivers from two tertiary hospitals in the central region of Thailand. Data collection using a set of questionnaires was performed at the outpatient department of each hospital. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and path analysis to examine the hypothesized relationship between the study variables and QOL. Results: A total of 300 stroke caregivers were recruited. Their age ranged from 20-84 years old, and mostly were female (76%). Determinants of QOL among family caregivers were caregivers' age, caregivers' income and care burden. Care burden was the strongest predictor which explained 64 % of the total variance (p < .001). Conclusion: Sociodemographic factors impact on QOL among Thai family caregivers of stroke survivors. Caregivers' burden remains a serious issue, especially for those at an advanced age with low income who provide the care for severely dependent stroke survivors. Therefore, nurses and health care team should be aware of these determinants and develop a family intervention program to support them so as to improve their QOL.

“…Para a prevenção e definição de intervenções preventivas há necessidade de perceber quais as variáveis identificadas como promotoras de sobrecarga. Receber informações necessárias sobre a doença e sobre a forma como cuidam da pessoa dependente é importante para os níveis de sobrecarga, principalmente na área do autocuidado vestir e despir, alimentação, uso do sanitário, transferência, mobilidade e toma da medicação, alguns dos quais também identificados por outros autores (Zhu & Jiang, 2018). O número de áreas de dependência é promotor de sobrecarga no cuidador tal como noutros estudos (Rodríguez--Medina & Landeros-Pérez, 2014;Zhu & Jiang, 2018).…”

Por outro lado, e ao contrário do verificado no estudo de Zhu e Jiang (2018), o tempo de dependência não é promotor de maior índice de sobrecarga, podendo dever-se ao facto destes cuidadores já apresentarem um elevado nível de sobrecarga.…”

“…Relativamente a estes fatores foram identificados grau de dependência, saúde psicológica, e caraterísticas sociodemográficas. Quanto aos fatores relacionados com o cuidador, podemos salientar caraterísticas sociodemográficas, tipo de necessidades, tempo de cuidado, grau de parentesco e saúde psicológica do cuidador (Zhu & Jiang, 2018). Para avaliar a sobrecarga do cuidador existem vários instrumentos sendo a escala de Zarit apontada como a que reúne melhores condições de aplicação, sendo utilizada em vários países e em várias populações (Sequeira, 2013;Crespo & Rivas, 2015).…”

Background: Sense of coherence (SOC) is an important protective factor for carer well-being but research to date remains cross-sectional, focusing primarily on the direct effects of SOC on carers' mental health. The study's aim was to investigate the mediating role of SOC in the longitudinal relationship between caregiver strain and carers' psychological health, and its stability over time. Methods: Prospective longitudinal study conducted in Jaén (Spain) with a probabilistic sample of 132 carers of older people, with data collected at baseline and at 1-year follow-up. We measured SOC, caregiver strain, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and several care-recipient characteristics and intensity of care provided. We used multiple linear regression modelling and the Sobel test to analyse mediation effects. Results: SOC was significantly negatively longitudinally associated with both anxiety (β ¼ À 0.38, p ¼ 0.001) and depressive symptoms (β ¼ À 0.28, p ¼ 0.023), after controlling for several confounders. SOC mediated both the relationship between caregiver strain and anxiety, and caregiver strain and depressive symptoms (Sobel test: p < 0.001 for anxiety and p < 0.001 for depressive symptoms). Differences between baseline and 1-year follow-up SOC scores were not statistically significant (p ¼ 0.617). Conclusions: SOC appears to buffer the impact of caregiver strain on symptoms of depression and anxiety in informal carers of older people. Our data showed that SOC is an important psychological resource for carers that remained relatively stable under non-experimental conditions over a period of 1 year in this sample. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at strengthening SOC may protect carer psychological well-being.
