“…A key finding of this study was that levels of loneliness started high and remained high throughout the 6 month trajectory of caregiving. Like past studies, caregiver burden 16,17 and poor mental health 24,25 were associated with higher levels of loneliness, while being married provided some protection against loneliness 25 . Unlike past studies in cancer caregivers, this study found no relationship between sex and/or education levels and loneliness 25 …”

“…Much of the research examining loneliness in caregivers has focused on caregivers of the elderly or individuals with dementia 15 . In caregivers of the elderly and those with dementia, loneliness has been found to positively predict caregiver burden 16,17 . In a review of 19 cancer caregiving studies, low social support was considered a hidden morbidity of caregiving, particularly for females 18 .…”

Objective: To describe levels of loneliness in cancer caregivers over a 6 month time period, and to examine factors that influence changes in loneliness in caregivers over time. Methods: Prospective, repeated measures design was utilized to examine levels of loneliness and factors that influence loneliness in 129 family caregivers of individuals undergoing cancer treatment at three time points over a 6 month period. Measures included: PROMIS global health and sleep disturbance; NIH Toolbox loneliness, selfefficacy and perceived stress; Family Care Inventory mutuality scale; and Caregiver Reaction Assessment. Results: Approximately one third (30.2%, n = 39) of the caregivers had high levels of loneliness, and levels of loneliness did not change over the three time points (P = .985). For any given time point, caregivers who were not married (P = .008), not working (P = .027), with worse mental health (P = .015), more perceived-stress (P < .0001), and more caregiver burden (P = .003) reported higher levels of loneliness. Conclusion: This study provides guidance for clinicians attempting to identify at-risk caregivers by confirming the findings of previous research that caregivers with higher burden, stress and in poor mental health are at increased risk for loneliness. This study provides preliminary evidence that continuing to work during the caregiving trajectory may be beneficial to caregivers by reducing levels of loneliness. Future research is needed to confirm these findings and to examine novel interventions to reduce loneliness in cancer caregivers.

“…Another important factor, which occurs mainly in old age, is the frequent role of caregiver exercised by the spouse when the partner is affected by disabling disease sequelae, requiring the partner to help with hygiene, food and health care, which contributes to a scenario of physical and psychological overload, with possible implications for the perception of QOL and well-being at this stage of life ( 43 ) .…”

Objective:to analyze the relation between resilience and demographic variables, quality of life and symptoms of depression in elderlies attended at a Geriatric Outpatient Clinic.Method:analytical cross-sectional study, conducted with 148 elderlies, with a questionnaire of sociodemographic and health characterization, the Resilience Scale, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Bref, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Old, and the Center for Epidemiologic Survey - Depression Scale. Descriptive statistics, Student’s t-test and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis.Results:there was a positive correlation between resilience and schooling (r = 0.208; p = 0.010), income (r = 0.194; p = 0.017), the World Health Organization Quality of Life Bref (r = 0.242; p = 0.003), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Old (r = 0.522; p <0.001), and negative correlation regarding symptoms of depression (r = -0.270; p = 0.001).Conclusion:Resilience presented relation to schooling, income, quality of life and symptoms of depression in the elderly. These results are expected to help the multidisciplinary team plan actions aimed at developing resilience towards the promotion of health and good quality of life in old age.

“…Other factors that contribute to caregiver burden include depression, financial stress, higher numbers of hours spent providing care, and lower levels of social support (Adelman, Tmanova, Delgado, Dion & Lachs, 2014). Although a few studies have pointed to social isolation and the experience of loneliness as significant predictors of caregiver burden (Lee, Martin & Poon, 2017), little research has focused on the experience of loneliness and social isolation among caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease.…”
