Coping e sobrecarga em cuidadores informais

Coping e sobrecarga em cuidadores informais

Abstract

Os cuidadores informais (CI) adotam um papel bastante significativo na nossa comunidade. O cuidar acarreta consequências quer físicas como psicológicas. Neste sentido, a presente investigação pretende contribuir para a identificação da relação entre a sobrecarga e a perceção das estratégias de coping do CI, a sua eficácia e avaliação da influência do tipo de cuidados na sobrecarga. Participaram nesta investigação 168 CI, com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 87 anos. Ao nível da sobrecarga 73.1% apresentaram um nível sem sobrecarga. As estratégias de coping que os CI mais fazem uso prende-se à aceitação (M= 6.78). Os resultados demonstraram correlações estatisticamente significativas na perceção das estratégias de coping utilizadas pelo CI a uma diminuição da sobrecarga. Apresentaram diferenças ao nível da sobrecarga em função do tempo despendido na tarefa de cuidar (tempo inteiro ou a tempo parcial). Não existiram diferenças na sobrecarga do CI, em função de receber apoio para a realização das tarefas de cuidado. Espera-se que com este estudo exista um aumento do conhecimento sobre o CI e que com os resultados obtidos os CI sejam ajudados no reconhecimento das causas de sobrecarga e desenvolvimento de estratégias de coping eficazes. Palavras-chave: Estratégias de coping, Sobrecarga, Cuidadores Informais

Informal caregivers (IC) play a very significant role in our community. Taking care of physical as well as psychological consequences. In this sense, the present investigation intends to contribute to an identification of the relationship between the overload and the perception of the CI's coping strategies, its diligence and evaluation of the strength of the type of care in the overload. CI participants were aged between 19 and 87 years old. At the overload level, 73.1% present a level without overload. As coping strategies, the use of IC, but the use, leads more to conquest (M= 6.7). Our results demonstrate statistically significant correlations with no advance in the coping strategies used by the CI to minimize burden. It presents several differences in terms of overload depending on the time dependent on the care task (time or part-time). There are no differences in CI overload, due to support for the execution of maintenance tasks. I hope that, as a study, there is an increase in knowledge about the CI and that the results obtained from the CI will be helped in the recognition of effort strategies and the development of causes for success.
