| dc.description.abstract | Objective: Study the relationship between psychological (stress) and psychological (coping) of the informal caregiver of the elderly in a situation of dependence. Methods: Cross-sectional study involving a sample selected by convenience, of 110 informal caregivers of "Conselho de Faro", Portugal. Data was collected in the homes by application of four instruments to these caregivers (sociodemographic data, assessment of stress intensity; abbreviated scale of coping and Barthel's dependence assessment. Results: The coping strategies centered on the problem (Chi-square = 10.243, p <= 0.037) and on the medium (Chi-square = 9.574, p <= 0.048) were used by the informal caregivers of the more dependent elderly. However, strategies centered on the caregiver were those that generated less stress (beta = -0.378, p <= 0.000). Conclusion: The "coping strategies centered on the caregiver" are those that generate less perception of stress in the informal caregivers. | |
