A cognitive-behavioural intervention improves cognition in caregivers of people with autism spectrum disorder: A pilot study

Abstract: As postulated by the stress process model, chronically stressed individuals, such as caregivers of people with chronic psychological disorders, have poorer cognitive performance and higher age-related cognitive decline than individuals not exposed to chronic stress. When analysing this topic in caregivers, the majority of research has been conducted in populations in which the care recipient has dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease, while relatively few studies have analysed cognition in caregivers of offspring… Show more

“…Although this intervention did not contain specific cognitive training designed to improve cognitive abilities, participants received training in cognitive restructuring, emotion management skills and problem-solving, among others , which may explain these improvements. In this regard, some studies have demonstrated that problem-solving training would improve these abilities in different populations through slower and controlled processing, step by step (Kurowski et al, 2014;Romero-Mart ınez et al, 2017). Although it is difficult to attribute the cognitive improvements to test bias because they present high test-retest reliability and stability over a 1-year period (Fern andez-Abascal, Cabello, Fern andez-Berrocal, & Baron- Cohen, 2013;Ingram, Greve, Ingram, & Soukup, 1999), the lack of research conducted with an appropriate control (i.e., a randomized controlled trial [RCT]) reduces the confidence in the reliability of these results.…”

“…Esto podría sugerir, que los padres dedicaban mayor tiempo a los tratamientos que estaban enfocados directamente en sus síntomas de malestar que en aquellos que tenían la intención de cambiar su perspectiva en situaciones difíciles (Da Paz & Wallander, 2016). En esta misma línea, Romero-Martínez et al (2017), en una reciente investigación sobre una intervención cognitivo conductual con padres de personas con TEA quienes habían cuidado a sus hijos por un período aproximado de 14 años, plantean que en forma posterior a la intervención que consistió en la aplicación de una serie de test sobre evaluación neuropsicológica, atención, memoria, lenguaje, y memoria ejecutiva, los padres tendrían una "mejor atención selectiva, memoria a corto y largo plazo en relación con las palabras cuentos e imágenes, es decir, flexibilidad cognitiva y técnicas de planificación, sin embargo, no se observan cambios con relación al estado cognitivo general" (Romero-Martínez et al 2017, p. 2). Si bien este enfoque requiere de mayor investigación, mostraría que el modelo cognitivo conductual sería bastante efectivo y una alternativa considerable para promover la salud mental en estos padres.…”

“…En relación con el bienestar de las familias de individuos con TEA, este raramente ocupa un lugar central en la investigación y en las políticas públicas (Cridland, Jones, Magee & Caputi, 2014). Desde la intervención clínica, la mayoría de los sistemas de atención se organizan para satisfacer las necesidades de los pacientes individuales, en donde las necesidades de los cuidadores familiares rara vez se abordan (Karst & Van Hecke, 2012;Romero-Martínez et al, 2017). En una revisión sistemática realizada por Da Paz y Wallander (2017), encontraron que algunas de las variables asociadas al bienestar en padres de hijos con TEA podrían estar relacionadas con la severidad de síntomas autistas en el hijo, el apoyo social recibido, los estilos de afrontamiento, resiliencia, entre otros (Bekhet, Johnson & Zauszniewski, 2012).…”
