“…In terms of relationship between quality of life and coping strategies, findings revealed that good quality of life lead more use of positive coping styles in family caregivers and vice versa. Similar findings reported on studies conducted on family caregivers [23][24][25].…”

“…However, Lazarus and Folkman [12] suggested that use of coping styles cannot be determined straightforward but use of active coping strategies may enable the caregivers to deal the situation after stroke. Avoiding like escaping and running away from the situation can help to lower the stress level [13]. Therefore, we planned a study to find out the relationship of quality of life to coping styles and predictors of quality of life in caregivers of stroke survivors [14].…”

During the last two decades, the number of international migrants worldwide has constantly risen. In this context, crosscultural dimensions of psychological disorders receive increased attention, especially depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorders among the migrant population. In this paper we propose a theoretical framework for the understanding of migrant mental health. This framework combines elements from Berry ' s acculturation model and Antonovsky ' s salutogenic theory. The former illustrates the main factors that affect an individual ' s adaptation in a new cultural context. The term acculturative stress denotes unresolved problems resulting from intercultural contact that cannot be overcome easily by simply adjusting or assimilating. The latter specifi es the relationship between culturally associated stress and mental health more distinctive, introducing the concepts of generalized resistance resources and sense of coherence that determine mental health outcomes of migrants during acculturative stress periods. Specifi cally, we provide an integrative framework of acculturation and salutogenesis that helps to integrate inconsistent fi ndings in the migrant mental health literature. The current paper focuses on the effect of resource factors for positive mental health outcomes in the migrant population and summarises some implications for future research activities.

“…The sense of coherence questionnaire (SOC) developed by Antonovsky 13) provides a global measure of the ability of caregivers to mobilize adaptive coping resources. We used the abbreviated version of this questionnaire (SOC-13), that is, a 7-point semantic differential questionnaire (range, 13-91) 13,14) . SOC represents the salutogenic resources available to individuals 13) .…”

“…SOC is hypothesized to be a stable personality disposition that serves as a major coping resource for preserving health. The SOC questionnaire has been used in different cultures and languages throughout the world 15,16) ; it shows strong internal validity, reliability, and test-retest correlation 13,14,17) . The satisfaction level of care managers was measured by asking the caregivers about their satisfaction with their care manager using a score range of 0-10, with higher scores indicating a higher level of satisfaction with the care manager.…”

Effect of Care Manager Support on Health-Related Quality of Life of Caregivers of Impaired Elderly: One-Year Longitudinal Study

et al. 2007

The aim of this study was to identify factors related to the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of caregivers providing continuing home care for the impaired elderly focusing mainly on care managers' support given to caregivers. Two interviews over a course of 12 months were conducted with 42 caregivers. The questionnaire items for the caregivers included demographic variables, HRQOL, the satisfaction level of care managers, coping ability, and depressive state. For the impaired elderly, the questionnaire items included demographic variables, abilities of activities of daily living, dementia assessment, and depressive state. The mean age of the caregivers was 66.1 ± 8.8. By logistic regression analysis with HRQOL as a dependent variable, the caregivers' physical QOL was significantly related to the depressive state of impaired elderly and the caregivers' satisfaction with their care manager, whereas the caregivers' mental QOL was significantly related to the caregivers' sense of coherence and satisfaction with their care manager. These results suggest that the care managers' support to caregivers who provide continuing home care is important for caregivers' HRQOL.
