“…After this analysis, a set of 21 items was obtained for further study. These were classified according to the level of evidence shown and were ordered according the classification proposed by Lewin, Singleton and Jacobs (2008): ten quantitative studies, five qualitative studies, four systematic reviews of the literature, a literature review and a joint study. Taking into account the level of evidence, five of the items fall into level V, nine into level IV, three into level III and four into the highest level of evidence, level I.…”

RESUMO Introdução: Com o envelhecimento populacional e melhoria dos cuidados de saúde, constata-se um aumento de pessoas dependentes que requerem maior apoio para a satisfação das suas necessidades. O cuidador familiar (CF) é fundamental para garantir a continuidade de cuidados, apesar de ser um processo desgastante e com consequências na saúde. Um programa de intervenção de enfermagem (PIE), devidamente estruturado, revela-se importante neste contexto. Objetivo: Desenvolver e implementar um PIE de apoio e capacitação aos CF de pessoas dependentes. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura (RIL) que permitiu evidenciar as principais necessidades cuidadores. Depois foi estruturado um PIE, nos domínios do apoio emocional e instrumental, validado por peritos da área, com recurso à técnica de Delphi. Este foi implementado e avaliado, com recurso a um estudo quase experimental, com avaliação pré e pós intervenção. Resultados: Da RIL evidenciaram-se 21 artigos, que destacaram as principais necessidades manifestadas pelos CF. Da técnica de Delphi obteve-se um PIE com 93 intervenções de enfermagem. Da sua implementação, obteve-se uma melhoria geral do estado de saúde do CF, uma diminuição da sobrecarga manifestada e um maior recurso a estratégias de coping. Conclusões: Intervenções de Enfermagem estruturadas e contextualizadas, direcionadas para o apoio e capacitação dos CF, são facilitadoras da transição para este papel, com impacto na sua saúde e nos cuidados prestados.

“…Levels of evidence were presented in a structure that enabled an understanding of the value of the presented information or question under study. Of the several available designs, there is a similarity in their hierarchical structure, most commonly represented by a pyramid (Levin et al 2007). Craig and Smyth (2004) argue that this hierarchy of evidence only applies to questions about the effectiveness of therapies or interventions, which is the subject of this integrative review.…”

“…Craig and Smyth (2004) argue that this hierarchy of evidence only applies to questions about the effectiveness of therapies or interventions, which is the subject of this integrative review. According to Duke University Medical Library (2005, cited by Levin et al 2007), the highest level of evidence is at the top of the pyramid and is characterised by increased relevance of evidence for the clinical situation studied. Level I classification is given to the evidence obtained from systematic reviews and is considered the strongest level of evidence, as is the case of the seven articles included in this study.…”

“…Reading from left to right, these nine studies, including level of evidence, are displayed in column 1. The studies' levels of evidence range from Level I (strongest—systematic review) to Level IV (less strong—nonexperimental studies) using Levin et al's (2008) evidence hierarchy. Problems and information needs from this literature along with the impact felt by caregiver groups (women or men or both) are described in columns 2 through 4.…”

Family caregivers provide long-term, complex care in home settings where most persons with dementia (PWD) live. These men/women caregivers differ in responses and approaches to caring problems. Following our review of the research literature and needs assessment from caregivers of PWD (group 1), a comparison revealed key caregiver gender differences in caring problems and approaches. We developed and implemented a Web-based Educational Modules (WBEMs) project focused on gender-based differences to offer unique support for men/women caregivers who face these problems. Other caregiver evaluators (group 2) agreed the WBEMs were well designed with clear, credible, informative content. Evaluators' suggestions for larger font size and navigation directions were incorporated in module improvements. Six modules were eventually placed on an established university-sponsored caregivers' website. WBEMs have potential to reestablish well-being for caregivers of PWD. Home healthcare nurses and other healthcare providers can use, adapt, or create additional modules to meet the needs of and support for caregivers and patients living in community settings.
