Esses fatores influenciam o comportamento e o nível de ansiedade dos familiares, que apresentam mais dificuldades em lidar com estratégias de enfrentamento com foco na emoção, quando comparados com outros familiares com doenças agudas ou com outras doenças crônicas, graves ou sem patologias (SCHARDONG; CARDOSO; MAZONI, 2017).…”
