“…Behavioural symptoms were assessed with the Spanish version of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory 36 validated by Vilalta‐Franch et al 37 (Cronbach's alpha: 0.82) evaluating frequency and severity of behavioural symptoms. Intensity of care was measured using the DeCuida questionnaire designed and validated by Serrano‐Ortega et al 38 (Cronbach's alpha: 0.86). This questionnaire assessed frequency of care provided and level of dependency of the care recipient on each need attended to.…”

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.

“…Sex (male/female) and objective caregiver burden were assessed as covariates. Objective caregiver burden was assessed by intensity of care provision (frequency and complexity), measured by the DeCuida Questionnaire (Serrano‐Ortega et al., 2015), comprising 10 questions corresponding to Barthel Index items (Mahoney & Barthel, 1965). Intensity of care for each need was calculated by multiplying the dependency level (theoretical score of the Barthel Index minus the real score) by the frequency of care for each need (0 = never to 5 = always), with total score ranging from 0 to 100 (Cronbach's alpha = 0.86).…”

IntroductionCoping responses influence anxiety symptoms experienced by informal carers. However, only a few studies have investigated the longitudinal association between coping responses and anxiety symptoms in family carers. We also currently have limited knowledge on the mediating or moderating influence of subjective caregiver burden on this relationship over time. The aim of the present study was to investigate the longitudinal relationship between coping and anxiety symptoms in family carers of dependent older people, and examine the mediating or moderating role of subjective caregiver burden over time.DesignProspective longitudinal study.MethodsWe recruited and enrolled participants from a probability sample of 132 family carers of older dependent relatives. We measured coping strategies, anxiety symptoms, subjective caregiver burden, and several covariates (sex and intensity of care) at baseline and at 1‐year follow‐up. We used generalized estimating equations with multiple imputations to examine associations over time.ResultsConsidering both direct and indirect effects through subjective burden, anxiety symptoms were positively associated with proactive coping (B = 0.13), planning (B = 0.15), self‐distraction (B = 0.24), denial (B = 1.15), venting (B = 0.94) and self‐blame (B = 0.90), and negatively associated with positive reframing (B = −0.83) and acceptance (B = −0.75). Subjective caregiver burden moderated the relationship between anxiety symptoms and planning, and the use of denial as a form of coping.ConclusionsOur results show that subjective caregiver burden is an important moderator and mediator of the longitudinal association between coping responses and anxiety symptoms in carers.Clinical RelevanceProactive coping and planning when subjective burden is low, self‐distraction, denial, venting, and self‐blame significantly increase levels of anxiety and caregiver burden in carers over time. Acceptance and positive reframing however as coping responses are associated with lower levels of anxiety and caregiver burden long‐term. Our findings highlight the need for a multi‐dimensional approach in future caregiving interventions.

“…Las dos fuerzas que lo explican son la caída de la fecundidad y el avance de la longevidad, provocando esta última un aumento de las enfermedades crónico degenerativas y, consecuentemente de la dependencia. Se puede entender por "dependencia" el hecho de no poder valerse por sí mismo en algún grado (Serrano-Ortega, Frías-Osunaa, Recio-Gómez, & Del-Pino-Casado, 2015).…”

Introducción: Desde septiembre de 2017, el grupo de investigación Humanidades-498 (Intervención psicológica en desarrollo, educación y orientación) de la Universidad de Almería, está trabajando en un proyecto europeo junto a otros cuatro socios (Rumanía, Reino Unido y dos comunidades de Italia) en la creación de un modelo adecuado de educación dirigido a cuidadores informales de personas mayores que reciben atención domiciliaria. Este modelo será el fundamento teórico que apoyará la creación de un currículo adecuado, con objetivos, contenidos y materiales adaptados a estos grupos de cuidadores que en muchas ocasiones son grupos desfavorecidos (inmigrantes, personas sin formación o en riesgo de exclusión social, etc.). Las herramientas y recursos de aprendizaje elaborados se introducirán en una plataforma desarrollada para contener un Curso MOOC (curso online gratuito y disponible en la red para toda la comunidad internacional traducido en cuatro idiomas) y una aplicación Smartphone de licencia gratuita. El objetivo principal de este proyecto es ofrecer formación para los cuidadores informales, mejorar sus oportunidades de trabajo, fortalecer su posición en el mercado laboral y aumentar la calidad en la atención a los mayores en diversos países europeos. Metodología: se desea desarrollar y pilotar un Curso Online (generalmente llamados MOOC) construido con un enfoque pedagógico innovador de coaprendizaje y basado en las tecnologías digitales como facilitadores del proceso de enseñanza. Dirigido a personas con diferentes cualificaciones profesionales: auxiliares de enfermería, cuidadores formales e informales, familias, especialista en cuidados geriátricos…Se trata de crear una comunidad online en la plataforma de aprendizaje para compartir intereses comunes y promover valores e interacciones positivas en el cuidado de las personas mayores. Resultados: nuestra propuesta aborda principalmente a los grupos desfavorecidos de inmigrantes, muchos de ellos no cualificados, para mejorar su comunicación profesional, intercultural y social con el fin de aumentar su profesionalidad, empleabilidad, fomentar su participación activa y cambiar las actitudes estigmatizadas de la sociedad y algunas instituciones. Promueve métodos y pedagogías innovadoras centradas en el desarrollo de una educación abierta e innovadora a través del uso de las TICS, que podría ser ampliamente utilizadas en otros contextos. Conclusiones: este proyecto desea mejorar el acceso, la participación y el aprendizaje de grupos desfavorecidos, prioridad horizontal de los programas europeos ERASMUS.
