Moving from reclusion to partial freedom: the experience of family caregivers for disabled elderly persons assisted in a day care center Movendo-se da reclusão à liberdade parcial: a experiência do cuidador familiar de idoso dependente assistido num centro-dia

The demands of family caregivers of elderly individuals with dementia

“…As caregivers gained more knowledge of the disease they provided better quality of care (13,(15)(16) . When caregivers did not adequately understand the several possible manifestations of the dementing process, exhaustion and family conflicts are more probable for the caregiver (15) .…”

A Multicenter Pilot Study of Burden Among Caregivers of Geriatric Rehabilitation Patients With Neuromusculoskeletal Diseases

“…Therefore, it is important to identify the characteristics of caregivers and the factors that affect their burden. In addition, the physical and psychological functioning of the patients themselves have been shown to impact the functional status of caregivers (Bocchi et al, 2010;Das et al, 2010;Hughes et al, 2014;Nahm, Resnick, Orwig, Magaziner, & DeGrezia, 2010;Okura & Langa, 2011). Identifying those factors associated with caregiver burden could provide important targets for intervention or support programs.…”

“…Numerous studies have also concentrated on the care burden among caregivers of patients with neurological conditions (Bakas, Austin, Jessup, Williams, & Oberst, 2004;Bartolo et al, 2010;Das et al, 2010;Rigby, Gubitz, & Phillips, 2009;Taricco et al, 2014), but few have focused on that of patients with musculoskeletal conditions (Brouwer et al, 2004;Peters, Fitzpatrick, Doll, Playford, & Jenkinson, 2012;Reis, Santos, Reis, & Gomes, 2013). Furthermore, only a limited number of studies have analyzed the characteristics of both patient and caregiver on caregiving burden for elderly rehabilitation patients with neurological and musculoskeletal diseases (Bartolo et al, 2010;Bocchi et al, 2010;Byun & Evans, 2015;Das et al, 2010;McLennon et al, 2014;Nahm et al, 2010). Of these, the majority focused on the caregivers of stroke patients (Bakas et al, 2004;Bartolo et al, 2010;Das et al, 2010;Ilse, Feys, De Wit, Putman, & De Weerdt, 2008;Parag et al, 2008;Peyrovi, Mohammad-Saeid, Farahani-Nia, & Hoseini, 2012;Vincent, Desrosiers, Landreville, & Demers, 2009).…”

Few studies have been conducted in developing countries using patients with functional limitations in rehabilitation units (Bhattacharjee, Vairale, Gawali, & Dalal, 2012;Bocchi et al, 2010;Chan, Malhotra, Malhotra, Rush, & Øst-bye, 2013;Reis et al, 2013). To the best of our knowledge, no English-language studies have analyzed caregiving in the context of geriatric rehabilitation, using chronic physical disability as a common problem among different neurological and musculoskeletal diseases.…”

Atividades desenvolvidas em centros dia para idosos na perspectiva do envelhecimento ativo: subsídios para avaliação da qualidade dos serviços

“…Mundialmente, os centros dia possuem abordagem multiprofissional, diferentes estruturas de funcionamento e, em geral, são regulamentados pelas políticas públicas específicas de cada país (Baumgarten et al, 2002;Franciulli et al, 2007;Ron, 2007;Bocchi et al, 2010;Santangelo et al, 2012;Santos et al, 2012).…”
