“…Within the hazards field too, positive emotional and mental capacities such as agency, hope, optimism, stress resistance and the ability to regulate emotions (Zautra et al 2008;Neria et al 2008) are thought to be vital for increasing psychological robustness before a hazard hits. Such capacities ideally reduce the frequency and severity of the adverse effects on health and support task-related responses rather than emotional responses to stressful events (Neria et al 2008).…”

Linking social capacities and risk communication in Europe: a gap between theory and practice?

Although both improved risk communication and the building of social capacities have been advocated as vital ways to increase societies' resilience towards natural hazards across the world, the literature has rarely examined the ways in which these two concepts may integrate in theory and practice. This paper is an attempt to address this gap in a European context. It begins with a conceptual discussion that unites the literature on risk communication with the literature on social capacity building. We then use the insights from this discussion as a basis to conduct a review of 60 risk communication practices from across Europe. This review indicates a gap between theory and practice because, whilst the literature highlights the importance of integrated and coordinated communication campaigns featuring both a one-way transfer and a two-way dialogue between the public, stakeholders and decision-makers, the majority of the communication practices reviewed here appear to be relatively disparate initiatives that rely on one-way forms of communication. On the basis of these findings, we conclude by making some recommendations for the way in which such practices could be improved in order to be more supportive of social capacities across Europe.

“…Contudo, em estudo norte-americano encontrou-se associação entre cuidadores com altos níveis de depressão e idosos com alto nível de prejuízo cognitivo. 16 A maioria professava uma religião, em seus relatos, fizeram questão de enfatizar o quanto se sentem fortes por terem fé em Deus, fato que os está ajudando na tarefa do cuidado ao idoso demenciado, inclusive com a proximidade da morte biológica e a finitude do ser. As crenças em um ser superior, a fé, a espiritualidade e as práticas religiosas são percebidas pelos cuidadores como estratégias muito eficazes de enfrentamento da sobrecarga de cuidado, angústia, estresse e depressão.…”

Estudo exploratório-descritivo que objetivou descrever variáveis sociodemográficas e de saúde dos cuidadores de idosos com Alzheimer, associando os cuidados realizados à resiliência. Participaram do estudo 101 cuidadores, maiores de 18 anos, que acompanhavam os idosos em unidade básica e em hospital público, no ano 2009. Foram aplicados questionários para perfil, Inventário de Depressão de Beck e Escala de Resiliência. Realizada análise estatística dos dados. A maioria dos cuidadores eram mulheres, sem depressão, recebia ajuda de outras pessoas para cuidar e possuía alto grau de resiliência. Houve associação significativa da resiliência com as variáveis: grau de parentesco, tratamento médico, uso de medicamentos, cansaço, esgotamento, desânimo e saúde mental do cuidador. Saúde física foi associada, significativamente, à experiência no cuidado, sendo que 82 idosos tinham prejuízos cognitivos graves. O idoso no contexto familiar pode ser beneficiado quando o cuidador é mais resiliente.

“…Algunos de estos trabajos han procurado identifi car los mediadores psicológicos que podrían contribuir a una mayor efi cacia de los programas terapéuticos, habién-dose encontrado como un posible mediador la resiliencia. La resiliencia fue defi nida, desde el área de la salud, como la capacidad de las personas para mantener la salud y el bienestar psicológico en un ambiente dinámico y desafi ante (Zautra, Hall y Murray, 2008). Por esta razón la resiliencia es una variable relevante para la experiencia de salud ligada a la capacidad amortiguadora del estrés (Becoña, 2006;Oliva, Jiménez, Parra y Sánchez-Queija, 2008).…”

Resumen: El objetivo del estudio fue desarrollar y validar un programa para la potenciación de la resiliencia en pacientes con artritis reumatoide. El diseño fue cuasi-experimental tipo pre-test/post-test entre dos grupos no aleatorios con seguimiento al grupo experimental. La muestra total comprendió 76 pacientes (93% mujeres). En el estudio piloto (Estudio 1) participaron 26 pacientes, y en el estudio de réplica (Estudio 2) 50 pacientes. Los resultados observados en ambos estudios fueron favorables para el grupo intervenido. Las variables de resultado afectadas por el programa fueron la resiliencia, la autotrascendencia, el estado emocional, la calidad de vida, la percepción de enfermedad y el apoyo social. A modo de conclusión, el programa de intervención focalizado en la resiliencia puede potenciarla y producir cambios importantes en variables psicosociales asociados con la artritis reumatoide. Palabras clave:Intervención; resiliencia; artritis reumatoide; cuasi-experimento. Empowerment program of resilience for rheumatoid arthritis patients Abstract:The aim of the present study was to develop and validate an intervention program to the empowerment of resilience for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. We used a quasi-experimental non-randomized pre-post two-group design; the experimental group was also assessed at follow-up. The total sample consisted of 76 patients (93% women). The results of both Study 1 (n = 26; pilot study) and Study 2 (n = 50) showed a positive effect of treatment on some of the outcome variables, including resilience, self-transcendence, mood states, quality of life, illness perception, and social support. Thus, the intervention program can enhance resilience and significantly improve psychosocial variables associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
