Physical and Psychological Outcomes of a Supported Physical Activity Program for Older Carers

Abstract: This study evaluated health benefits of a supported physical activity program for 116 older carers (mean age 64.4 [SD = 7.9], 85% women).

“…Gauchard et al 41 and DonahoeFillmore et al 42 used interventions combining yoga and another physical activity (e.g., walking) and therefore, it was not possible to discern from the results the effect of a yoga treatment alone. Hill et al 43 lumped the results of several experimental groups together, even though the groups were separated by type of treatment. Thus, 15 studies were included for full review: 5 RCTs, 4 quasi-experimental designs, 2 cross-sectional studies, and 4 pre-post designs with 1 group (summarized in Table 1).…”

Após a intervenção observou-se também redução dos níveis de sobrecarga segundo o CBS nos domínios tensão geral, isolamento e decepção.…”

“…Um estudo que avaliou a QVRS de cuidadores de idosos por meio de intervenção com exercício resistido e outras modalidades como thai chi, yoga e treinamento em circuito, mostrou resultados semelhantes quanto às melhoras físicas na QVRS, além de melhoras nos sintomas depressivos, equilíbrio, força em membros inferiores e resistência ao caminhar. Esses cuidadores relataram também, que o programa foi agradável, lhes proporcionando tempo para cuidar de suas próprias necessidades e que lhes permitiu uma ruptura completa do papel de cuidador 13 . O exercício físico regular também tem sido proposto e apresenta eficácia na melhora de sintomas depressivos, ansiedade, saúde física e geral, e na percepção de sobrecarga em cuidadores de idosos e cuidadores de pessoas com Alzheimer [11][12][13][14][15][16] .…”
