NECESIDADES FAMILIARES Y SU RELACIÓN CON LAS CARACTERÍSTICAS PSICOSOCIALES QUE PRESENTAN LOS CUIDADORES DE PERSONAS CON DEMENCIA/Family needs and their relationship with psychosocial functioning in caregivers of people with dementia

Abstract

El objetivo de este estudio consiste en: 1) Conocer las necesidades más y menos importantes que reportan un grupo de 73 cuidadores de personas con demencia que asisten a la Clínica de la Memoria del Hospital Central de la Policía en Bogotá, Colombia, 2) Describirlas principales características psicosociales y 3) Determinar si existe una relación entre dichas necesidades y las características psicosociales. Se administró un cuestionario de necesidades familiares, el cuestionario de depresión PHQ-9, el cuestionario de sobrecarga de Zarit, la escala de apoyo social, y la escala de satisfacción con la vida. Se encontró que las necesidades más importantes para los cuidadores fueron la necesidad de recibir información sobre la enfermedad, la necesidad de recibir apoyo emocional y la necesidad de recibir apoyo de la comunidad. La mayoría de cuidadores reportaron tener altos niveles de sobrecarga, depresión y problemas de salud. La necesidad de ayuda para mejorar la salud física fue la que mejor predijo la depresión y la sobrecarga en los cuidadores de personas con demencia. Las necesidades de tiempo para descansar y de apoyo psicológico fueron las que mejor predijeron la satisfacción con la vida.Palabras clave: Cuidadores, demencia, sobrecarga, depresión, apoyo social, satisfacción con la vida, estudio descriptivo mediante encuesta.The aim of this study is to: 1) To determine the most and least important family needs of 73 dementia family member caregivers from the Memory Clinic of the Central Police Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia, 2) To describe caregivers’ psychosocial functioning and 3) To determine which type of family needs best predict caregiver psychosocial functioning. Family member caregivers were administered a 27-item Caregiver Needs Questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to measure depression, Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List Short Version (ISEL-12) to evaluate social support, and The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The three most important needs reported by the family member caregivers were the need for information about the disease, need for emotional support, and need for community support. The majority of caregivers reported high levels of burden, depression, and health problems. The need to improve physical health was the best predictor of depression and burden. The need for respite and for psychological assistance best predicted satisfaction with life.Keywords: Caregiving, dementia, burden, depression, social support,satisfaction with life, survey descriptive study.
