“…Higher levels of comorbid conditions are associated with family caregivers feeling fewer positive feelings about providing care [ 30 ], and higher patient with HF functional class (worse symptom severity) is significantly associated with greater caregiver anxiety and general stress [ 31 ]. Studies across caregiving contexts suggest that caregivers of patients with more severe illness may need the most support [ 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”

Self-care behaviors are essential for the effective treatment of heart failure (HF), and poor self-care may lead to adverse clinical events in patients with HF. A growing body of literature addresses the need to analyze the characteristics of both patient and caregiver since they are in mutual, long-term interaction, and their reactions to events are dependent on each other. One of the most common approaches for analyzing data on HF self-care dyads is the Actor–Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). The purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review to answer the following question: what did we learn from HF dyadic studies based on the APIM approach? Medline, Academic Search Ultimate, and CINAHL Complete databases were searched, using the terms “dyad,” “dyadic,” and “heart failure,” for studies published between 2009 and April 2021. Fifteen studies were reviewed from a pool of 106 papers. Studies using the APIM approach revealed interrelated patient and caregiver characteristics that influence self-care and explain many complex dyadic behaviors. Our analysis provided evidence that (1) APIM is a useful analytical approach; (2) a family-oriented approach can improve the functioning of a patient with HF; and (3) social support from caregivers significantly enhances patients’ adaptation to illness.

“…Our research group has carried out three cross-sectional studies with different aspects of mental health and quality of life of caregivers of dependent patients with complex chronic diseases, with a total sample of 1027 caregivers. The exposed cohort of our study will be formed by family caregivers of dependent patients and/or with complex chronic diseases, treated in the health districts of Malaga and “Costa del Sol”, both at primary and hospital levels, recruited from three previous studies: EMPADEC [ 20 ], ECCUPENIC [ 21 ], and TALISMAN. The unexposed cohort will be taken from the general population adjusted by age, sex and health matching those belonging to the exposed cohort.…”

Background: informal caregivers have a high risk of suffering from diseases derived from the chronic stress to which they are subjected for their dedication to the care of their relatives. Such stress has a direct influence on the person cared for, mainly affecting the quality of their care. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to assess the association of caregiving on physical and mental perceived health in family caregivers of dependent adults with complex chronic diseases. Methods: a prospective longitudinal cohort study, with a follow-up period of 36 months (HUELLA cohort). The exposed cohort will be formed by family caregivers of dependent patients with complex chronic pathologies. The unexposed cohort will be taken from the general population adjusted for age, sex and health. Outcome variables will include attendance to health services, consumption of psychoactive drugs, dedication to care (only in exposed cohort), concession of the Act on Promotion of Personal Autonomy and Care for dependent persons (exposed only), perceived physical and mental health, depression level, burden level and new diagnosis of chronic pathology of the caregiver during the study. Results: the expected results will be applicable and will incorporate improvements to the usual health system clinical practice, providing feedback to professionals dedicated to the provision, planning and design of services to family caregivers, as well as to groups and organizations of caregivers. Conclusions: investments in preventing low-quality informal care are key, mainly through early identification and interventions to support caregivers who suffer from stress, anxiety or depression.

Effects and consequences of caring for persons with heart failure: (ECCUPENIC study) a nested case–control study

Abstract: Lack of family support for patients with HF or greater duration of care is associated with more hospitalizations and increased depression among caregivers. Further longitudinal studies with a large population sample are required.
