La influencia del apoyo social en cuidadores de personas con deterioro cognitivo o demencia.The influence of social support on caregivers of people with cognitive impairment or dementia.Paula Antelo *, Pablo Espinosa * *Universidad de A Coruña, ResumenEl apoyo social se define como un conjunto de transacciones que implican ayuda, afecto y afirmación. Así, el objetivo de la investigación ha sido desarrollar un modelo que explique como la frecuencia de cuidados influye en la satisfacción de los cuidadores de personas con deterioro cognitivo o demencia a través de variables como el apoyo social o la sobrecarga. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que la frecuencia de cuidados predice la satisfacción. Asimismo, se demuestra que están mediados por el apoyo social y la sobrecarga, conllevando el primero a una mayor satisfacción y la sobrecarga a una disminución de la misma. Palabras clave: apoyo social, cuidadores, deterioro cognitivo, sobrecarga AbstractSocial support is defined as a set of transactions that involve help, affection, and affirmation. The objective of the research has been to develop a model that explains how the frequency of care influences the satisfaction of caregivers of people with cognitive impairment or dementia through such variables as social support or overload. The results confirm that the frequency of care predicts satisfaction. Likewise, it is shown that they are mediated by social support and overload, leading to the first to greater satisfaction and the overload to a decrease in it.
