“…Para além das situações que envolvem perdas, o apego seguro está correlacionado a sentimentos de bem-estar entre adultos mais velhos, possivelmente porque esses indivíduos experimentam facilidade para integração social, satisfação com a vida e saúde física do que indivíduos inseguros (Bradley & Cafferty, 2001;Karantzas et al, 2019).…”

“…A revisão sistemática de literatura realizada por Karantzas et al (2019) ilustra a importância de considerar a teoria do apego como um caminho na compreensão dos processos de cuidados. Neste sentido, a literatura nacional de Braz e Franco (2017) evidencia o comportamento de apego como uma base segura que podem influenciar fatores de proteção, como a prevenção do luto complicado, correspondendo às necessidades emocionais do familiar, como a escuta, acolhimento, validação dos sentimentos e pensamentos, bem como orientações em torno dos procedimentos do cuidado.…”

Resumo: O presente estudo objetivou analisar e descrever pesquisas que abordam a teoria do apego na velhice. O método utilizado foi uma revisão integrativa de literatura, com os seguintes descritores: attachment and later life; or older life; or ageing; attachment relationships, a pesquisa consultou bases de dados como: Bireme, EBSCO, AgeLine, Medline, APA Psycnet, resultando em 10 artigos dos últimos 05 anos e outros acrescentados para fundamentação teórica. Os resultados apontaram para os temas: padrões de apego infantil e as repercussões na velhice; apego e estilos de cuidado; apego ao território de moradia; apego e religião; apego e prevenção de saúde. Por meio dos estudos foi possível concluir a importância do estilo de apego seguro como fator de proteção psicológica, principalmente em relação às perdas que decorrem desta etapa da vida. Por fim, o tema necessita de estudos longitudinais, empíricos para compreender o comportamento do apego ao longo da vida.

“…In terms of the association between attachment anxiety and carer burden, studies have found that higher levels of attachment anxiety in carers are generally associated with higher levels of carer burden (e.g., Karantzas et al, 2019; Karantzas et al, 2010; Lee et al, 2018). It has been suggested that this association is largely due to the hyperactivating strategies typically used by anxiously attached individuals when facing stressful situations but also reflects their negative self-views regarding their skills and abilities in this domain (e.g., Lee et al, 2018).…”

Familial caregiving research is yet to examine the factors that underpin the association between attachment insecurity and carer burden. Furthermore, previous research consists largely of data collected at a single point in time. This paper addresses these gaps by reporting on a study involving 57 parent–child dyads to determine whether adult children’s caregiving self-efficacy mediates the association between carer attachment insecurity and carer burden. Furthermore, care-recipient care-seeking style was investigated as a moderator of the association between carer’s attachment insecurity and their self-efficacy. Carers completed self-report measures of attachment orientations at baseline, caregiving self-efficacy at 3 months, and carer burden at 6 months. At 3 months, dyads also engaged in a video-recorded caregiving discussion task assessing care-recipient’s observed care-seeking style. The mediation effects of carer attachment orientations on burden through caregiving self-efficacy were contingent on care-recipient indirect-constructive care-seeking. Findings highlight the complex interplay between carer attachment orientations, caregiving self-efficacy, and care-recipient care-seeking style in predicting the burden experienced by adult children.

“…Affective symptoms such as anxiety, depression, insomnia are found: these symptoms may worsen the course of dementia. 15 We have found insecure attachment (n=4 out of 5 MCI with BPS), which is a known risk factor for later anxiety and depression in adulthood [4,[15][16][17]. Insecure attachment is a likely risk factor to affective BPS in MCI as well [1][2][3]16,17].…”

“…15 We have found insecure attachment (n=4 out of 5 MCI with BPS), which is a known risk factor for later anxiety and depression in adulthood [4,[15][16][17]. Insecure attachment is a likely risk factor to affective BPS in MCI as well [1][2][3]16,17]. So, the combination of risk factors (insecure attachment and OTrs 53576, or BI as well) may help explain the occurrence of affective BPS, in an individual patient [2,3].…”
