Objective: This study's objective was to analyze the effectiveness of educational and support programs for caregivers on reducing their burden. Method: The method used was a systematic review. The following were searched; MEDLINE, LILACS, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, SciELO and CINAHL. Results: Seven randomized clinical studies were included. These studies compared an educational program with standard care delivery, assessing the burden of caregivers through the Zarit Burden Interview. After the analysis of sensitivity, four studies were grouped in the meta-analysis showing a statistically significant reduction in caregiver burden among the participants of educational and support programs. Conclusion: The evidence obtained in this study suggests that educational and support programs have a positive impact on the reduction of caregiver burden when compared to standard care. Therefore, the inclusion of these programs in institutions providing care to the elderly is effective and should be encouraged. These programs should also share non-pharmacological management strategies for the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia.Descriptors: Dementia; Caregivers; Aged; Geriatric Nursing.

Efectividad de programas educativos en la sobrecarga de cuidadores de pacientes con diagnóstico de demencia: revisión sistemáticaObjetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la eficacia de programas de educación y apoyo a cuidadores para reducir su sobrecarga. Método: El método utilizado fue una revisión sistemática. Consultamos el MEDLINE, LILACS, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL y Web of Science.Resultados: Se incluyeron los ensayos controlados aleatorios que compararon el programa de educación con la atención habitual, con evaluación de la carga del cuidador a través de la Escala de Zarit Burden. Tras el análisis de sensibilidad, cuatro estudios se combinaron en un metaanálisis, que muestra una mayor reducción de la carga del cuidador entre los participantes de los programas educativos y de apoyo, con significación estadística. Conclusión: La evidencia en este estudio indica que los programas educativos y de apoyo son favorables para la reducción de la carga del cuidador. La inclusión de este tipo de programas en las instituciones dedicadas al cuidado de los ancianos es eficaz y debe fomentarse. Se puede inferir que estos programas deben incluir el intercambio de estrategias de manejo no-farmacológico para los síntomas conductuales y psicológicos de la demencia.Descriptores: Demencia; Cuidadores; Anciano; Enfermería Geriátrica. IntroductionPopulation aging in Brazil has been increasingly evident throughout recent decades, i.e. the elderly population has been growing faster than other age groups. According to the census published by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in 2002, the population over 60 years-old had increased 35.6% between 1999 and that year, with this age group coming to represent 7.9% of the Brazilian population.The ce...

“…Even more, the intervention increased caregiver ability to cope, but could not decrease depressive symptoms (primary outcome), sense of competence, and burden of caregivers. Neither could the intervention induce functional (primary outcome), cognitive, and behavioral changes in recipients [74]. The intervention of high methodological quality developed by Martin-Carrasco et al was more recently also implemented in groups.…”

Abstract.Background: Dementia is known as a major public health problem affecting both patients and caregivers, and placing a high financial strain upon society. In community-dwelling patients, it is important to support informal caregivers in order to help them sustain their demanding role. Previous reviews about effectiveness of such supporting strategies often included a small number of studies, focused only on particular supportive types, particular outcomes, or solely on caregivers. Objective: A general systematic review was conducted investigating effectiveness of different supportive strategies on at least the well-being of the caregiver or the care-recipient. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in Web of Science and PubMed. An adapted version of the Downs and Black (1998) checklist was used to assess methodological quality. A new classification was developed to group different types of caregiver support. Results: Fifty-three papers met the inclusion criteria. Although 87% of the interventions were to some extent effective, methods and findings were rather inconsistent. Psychoeducational interventions generally lead to positive outcomes for caregivers, and delay permanent institutionalization of care-recipients. Cognitive behavioral therapy decreases dysfunctional thoughts among caregivers. Occupational therapy decreases behavioral problems among patients and improves self-efficacy of caregivers. In general, those interventions tailored on individual level generate better outcomes. Comparative research on respite care was very rare. Conclusions: Despite methodological inconsistency, supporting caregivers appears to be an effective strategy often improving well-being of caregiver or care-recipient and resulting in additional benefits for society. However, there is a need for more research on the (cost)-effectiveness of respite care.

La influencia del apoyo social en cuidadores de personas con deterioro cognitivo o demencia.The influence of social support on caregivers of people with cognitive impairment or dementia.Paula Antelo *, Pablo Espinosa * *Universidad de A Coruña, ResumenEl apoyo social se define como un conjunto de transacciones que implican ayuda, afecto y afirmación. Así, el objetivo de la investigación ha sido desarrollar un modelo que explique como la frecuencia de cuidados influye en la satisfacción de los cuidadores de personas con deterioro cognitivo o demencia a través de variables como el apoyo social o la sobrecarga. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que la frecuencia de cuidados predice la satisfacción. Asimismo, se demuestra que están mediados por el apoyo social y la sobrecarga, conllevando el primero a una mayor satisfacción y la sobrecarga a una disminución de la misma. Palabras clave: apoyo social, cuidadores, deterioro cognitivo, sobrecarga AbstractSocial support is defined as a set of transactions that involve help, affection, and affirmation. The objective of the research has been to develop a model that explains how the frequency of care influences the satisfaction of caregivers of people with cognitive impairment or dementia through such variables as social support or overload. The results confirm that the frequency of care predicts satisfaction. Likewise, it is shown that they are mediated by social support and overload, leading to the first to greater satisfaction and the overload to a decrease in it.
