“…There are two dimensions of social support namely; perceived social support and received social support. Perceived social support is viewed as ‘the perception of an individual about the amount and quality of support received from his/her social network’, while received social support is defined as ‘the objective quantification of the help and aid people receive from their social network’ [ 27 , 28 ]. Research has shown that perceived social support is a stronger predictor of individual well-being than received social support and is closely related to personality traits such as optimism and self-esteem [ 29 , 30 ].…”

“…Studies that have examined the relationship between resilience and social support, have not only found association between high resilience and hopefulness among cancer patients, but also shown positive influence of family social support on patients’ adaption process and longevity [ 31 ]. Having ‘open emotional expression and collaborative problem-solving’ is shown to improve family functioning under emotionally stressful situations experienced during caregiving which in turn improve informal social support, strengthen resilience and aid family adaptation [ 28 ].…”

Resilience and burden in caregivers of older adults: moderating and mediating effects of perceived social support

et al. 2018

BackgroundThe burden of caring for an older adult can be a form of stress and influence caregivers’ daily lives and health. Previous studies have reported that resilience and social support play an important role in reducing physical and psychological burden in caregivers. Thus, the present study aimed to examine whether perceived social support served as a possible protective factor of burden among caregivers of older adults in Singapore using moderation and mediation effects’ models.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study with 285 caregivers providing care to older adults aged 60 years and above who were diagnosed with physical and/or mental illness in Singapore. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to measure resilience and burden was measured by the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) was used to measure perceived social support. Hayes’ PROCESS macro was used to test moderation and mediation effects of perceived social support in the relationship between resilience and burden after controlling for sociodemographic variables. Indirect effects were tested using bootstrapped confidence intervals (CI).ResultsThe mean scores observed were CD-RISC: 70.8/100 (SD = 15.1), MSPSS: 62.2/84 (SD = 12.2), and ZBI: 23.2/88 (SD = 16.0) respectively. While perceived social support served as a full mediator between resilience and caregiver burden (β = − 0.14, 95% CI -0.224 to − 0.072, p < 0.05), it did not show a significant moderating effect.ConclusionsPerceived social support mediates the association between resilience and caregiver burden among caregivers of older adults in Singapore. It is crucial for healthcare professionals, particularly those who interact and deliver services to assist caregivers, to promote and identify supportive family and friends’ network that may help to address caregiver burden.

“…8 Caregiver's resilience can improve family adaptation patterns to dementia problems experienced by elderly. 9 The level of caregivers' resilience is influenced by several factors including internal and external factors. Internal factors include demographic factors from the family, personal beliefs, caregiving commitment, and the caregivers' coping ability in dealing with adversity.…”

Objective: Dementia patients have complex needs that may become a burden to those who caregive them. They are treated at home by family members due to financial limitations and lack of support from health services. Therefore, the measurement of self-resilience in caregivers needs special attention from professionals. Method: This study used a systematic review method from 4 databases consisting of the CINAHL, ProQuest, PubMed, and Google Scholar between 2015 till 2020; 17 articles were considered to meet the inclusion criteria. Results: Caregiver of elderly with dementia has a tendency to experience burdens that affect the quality of the care performed. The level of resilience that caregivers have can help reduce the level of burden they experience and improve their quality of life. Conclusions: Social support and formal support by health workers for caregivers have a significantly positive effect in increasing the level of resilience of caregivers.

“…Refere-se à capacidade de superar crises e retornar a um estado funcional a partir de um estado disfuncional, ou de recuperar funções diante de adversidades. A resiliência não pode ser encarada como uma característica específica de determinada pessoa ou uma construção estática, mas um processo dinâmico que muda com o tempo e o ambiente (Kim, Lim, Kim, & Kim, 2018). Este processo pode ser desencadeado e desaparecer em determinados momentos da vida, bem como estar presente em algumas áreas e ausente noutras (Rutten et al, 2013).…”

Ser familiar cuidador de uma pessoa com esquizofrenia é uma função complexa, que pode conduzir ao desenvolvimento de tensões no sistema familiar e, consequentemente, a dificuldades na adaptação ao papel de cuidador. É fundamental o desenvolvimento da resiliência dos familiares cuidadores perante esta adversidade, de modo a que estes sejam capazes de recuperar, resistir ou adaptar-se às exigências do cuidado. Objetivo: Identificar e explorar as barreiras à resiliência familiar em cuidadores de pessoas com esquizofrenia. Método: Foi realizado um estudo qualitativo com recurso a entrevistas semiestruturadas a 18 familiares cuidadores de pessoas com esquizofrenia que recebem apoio de uma Instituição Particular de Solidariedade Social da região de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo. Os dados foram analisados com recurso à técnica de análise de conteúdo. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes é do género feminino (77,8%) e vive com o familiar de quem cuida (77,8%). O papel de cuidador é assumido principalmente pela mãe (77,8%). As barreiras à resiliência familiar enquadram-se amplamente em três categorias, nomeadamente dimensão emocional, dimensão relacional e dimensão racional, que se dividem em seis subcategorias: auto-estigmatização, emoção expressa, afastamento relacional, défice de conhecimentos, culpabilização e autoculpabilização. Conclusão: A identificação de barreiras à resiliência familiar fornece uma visão das dificuldades vividas pelos cuidadores, contribuindo para que os
