“…Una gran parte de los cuidados básicos e instrumentales para estas personas se pone a cargo de los denominados cuidadores informales, quienes no reciben retribución económica por dicha labor y entre los que destacan los cuidados prestados por su familia. [3][4][5] La familia dispone de recursos como pueden ser la cohesión, adaptabilidad, normas, valores y conductas para afrontar las crisis familiares tanto normativas como paranormativas; sin embargo, la presencia de una enfermedad incapacitante en uno de los miembros exige la disposición del cuidado a otro de los miembros de la familia, y se inicia así una alteración en la dinámica familiar que, si no se supera de modo satisfactorio, se puede desarrollar una serie de alteraciones entre las que se incluye la depresión. Esto repercute en la salud física del cuidador, su estado de ánimo y en la modificación de la percepción del sufrimiento y del dolor del enfermo a su cuidado.…”

“…This fear is further accentuated in primiparous pregnant women; therefore, it is important that women have adequate support for the acquisition of healthy habits [26]. The caregiver provides support and care [27,28], that is, the main caregiver plays an active role in the patient's quality of life [29]. However, in the current health programmes aimed at pregnant women, the figure of the caregiver is not contemplated.…”

Educational intervention for the main caregiver of primiparous women to promote breastfeeding and the association between prolactin and nutritional parameters

2023

BackgroundIn the last two years, breastfeeding rates have experienced a notable decline worldwide. Only 46% of women breastfeed their children, the figure being much lower in primiparous women. Breastfed milk is the ideal food for babies; its benefits for the health of mothers and babies are scientifically proven. Several studies show that babies who are not breastfed have a higher risk of getting sick. This fact gives rise to an important public health problem. The aim of this paper is to describe the association between presence of the caregiver in health education and increasing rates of breastfeeding. MethodsWe conducted an observational study (cohort) in a population of primiparous pregnant women (n = 88), and their main caregivers belonging to a region of central Spain. The development, content and implementation of the intervention consisted of: 1) obtaining the blood levels of pregnant women (prolactin, folic acid, vitamin B12 and transferrin) before health education (13-26 weeks of pregnancy), 2) carry out health education with two groups: A (44 pregnant women with caregivers) and B (44 without caregivers), 3) obtain the same blood levels as in the first intervention, 15 days after delivery, and finally the evaluation of the intervention with breastfeeding rates. ResultsThe levels of prolactin (288.57 ± 107.46 nanogrammes per millilitre (ng / ml)), folic acid (16.93 ± 4.09 ng / ml), vitamin B12 (505.05 ± 213.97 picogrammes (pg) / ml) and transferrin (296.82 ± 67.61 milligrammes per decilitre (mg / dl)) were higher in pregnant women who attended the health education program with a caregiver than in pregnant women who attended alone: prolactin (103.61 ± 45.48 ng / ml), folic acid (7.16 ± 5.88 ng / ml), vitamin B12 (160.59 ± 36.92 pg / ml) and transferrin (223.86 ± 44.14 mg / dl). Of the sample size of 44 primiparous people who attended the talks with caregivers, 35 (79.54%) breastfed their babies, while the other 44 primiparous women who attended alone, only seven (15.91%) established breastfeeding successfully. ConclusionsThe implications for public health research are that the presence of a caregiver in health education programs modifies levels of prolactin, folic acid, vitamin B12, and transferrin, as well as increasing breastfeeding rates.

Measuring the impact of informal elderly caregiving: a systematic review of tools

et al. 2015

The great variety and characteristics of instruments identified in this review confirm the complexity and multidimensionality of the effects of elderly caregiving on the informal carer's life and explain the difficulties to assess these effects in practice. According to the classification provided, caregiver burden and emotional and mental health are the most evaluated dimensions. However, further work is required to develop integrated and caregiving focused procedures that can appraise this complexity across different countries and cultures.
