“…34 On the other hand, patients with a positive affect, social support, adequate treatment adherence, and spirituality felt better regarding their disease conditions and, consequently, had a better quality of life. 35 Pain beliefs are important predictors of treatment outcome and should be considered in the management of TMD patients. 8 A prospective study showed that two risk factors for elevated TMD incidence were greater numbers of comorbid pain conditions and a greater Case-control N = 23 TMD.…”

Facial pain often persists long after any identifiable organic pathology has healed. Moreover, in a subgroup of patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD), no treatment is effective. Knowledge of factors associated with persistent pain in TMD could help identify personalized treatment approaches. Therefore, we conducted a critical review of the literature for the period from January 2000 to December 2013 to identify factors related to TMD development and persistence. The literature findings showed that chronic TMD is marked by psychological distress (somatization and depression, affective distress, fear of pain, fear of movement, and catastrophizing) and characteristics of pain amplification (hyperalgesia and allodynia). Furthermore, these factors seem to interact in TMD development. In addition, our review demonstrates that upregulation of the serotonergic pathway, sleep problems, and gene polymorphisms influence the chronicity of TMD. We conclude that psychological distress and pain amplification contribute to chronic TMD development, and that interactions among these factors complicate pain management. These findings emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary assistance in TMD treatment.

“…Coping strategies: The Coping Strategies Inventory [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] was used for this evaluation, which consists of 19 items scored on four levels of intensity. The items are grouped into five factors: Factor 1: expression of negative emotions (items 1, 7, 9, 13, 18 and 19) -behavioral excesses and risk behaviors that allow the individual to spare himself/ herself of feelings of guilt, resentment or doubts, deal with situations of anxiety and depression and make contact with others to achieve assistance or maintain emotional activation.…”

“…The degree of optimism is a characteristic of the personality of each individual and an aspect that assists in seeking better results 14,15 . Recent investigations have shown that sufficient optimism results in more effective coping strategies, as individuals tend to act in a more proactive manner to deal directly with the source of the problem 16,17 . Among caregivers of dependent individuals, a higher degree of optimism is related to a lower level of care-related burden 18 .…”

Idosos cuidadores de outros idosos que residem com e sem crianças: sobrecarga, otimismo e estratégias de enfrentamento Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é comparar o nível de sobrecarga, otimismo e as estratégias de enfrentamento de idosos cuidadores de idosos que residem com e sem crianças. Estudo transversal realizado com amostra de 301 idosos cuidadores cadastrados nas Unidades de Saúde da Família. Foram entrevistados 301 idosos cuidadores, sendo que 257 não residiam com crianças e 44 residiam. Os instrumentos utilizados foram Escala de Sobrecarga de Zarit, Escala de Espiritualidade de Pinto e Pais Ribeiro e Inventário para Avaliação das Estratégias de Enfrentamento. Foram usados o teste T de Student e teste U Mann-Whitney para a comparação entre os dois grupos. O nível de sobrecarga foi significativamente maior nos idosos cuidadores que residiam com crianças (p = 0,01) e não houve diferença significativa para o otimismo. Os idosos cuidadores que não residiam com crianças reportaram o uso significativamente superior de estratégias de enfrentamento focadas em emoções negativas (p < 0,01), religiosidade (p < 0,01) e inibição de emoções negativas (p = 0,01). O nível de sobrecarga foi maior entre os idosos cuidadores que residiam com crianças. Os idosos cuidadores que não tinham crianças no domicílio reportaram maior uso de estratégias focadas na emoção e na religião para enfrentar as demandas do cuidado ao idoso.Abstract This article aims to compare level of burden, optimism and coping strategies among elderly caregivers of other elderly individuals who reside with and without children. A cross-sectional study was with a sample of 301 elderly caregivers of elderly Brazilians seen in primary health care. Among the 301 caregivers interviewed, 44 resided with children and 257 did not. Evaluations involved the administration of the Zarit Burden Inventory, Spirituality Scale (optimism) and Coping Strategies Inventory. Either the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney U-test was used for the comparisons between the two groups. Burden level was significantly higher among elderly caregivers who resided with children (p = 0.01). No significant differences were found with regard to optimism. Elderly caregivers who did not reside with children reported significantly greater use of coping strategies focused on the expression of negative emotions (p < 0.01), religiosity (p < 0.01) and the inhibition of negative emotions (p = 0.01). The elderly caregivers of other elderly individuals who resided with children had a higher level of burden and used coping strategies less than those who did not reside with children.

Objetivos: Evaluar variables emocionales (ansiedad, depresión), cognitivas (catastrofismo, autoeficacia percibida) y conductuales (estrategias de afrontamiento); conocer de qué modo este tipo de variables influyen en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en personas con enfermedades crónicas; analizar si existen diferencias significativas en función del género o del diagnóstico de enfermedad crónica en las variables psicológicas mencionadas; detectar si se dan diferencias significativas en las distintas dimensiones de calidad de vida entre población normal y población con enfermedades crónicas. Método: Estudio descriptivo-correlacional realizado en los meses de febrero y marzo de 2015 en el que participaron 35 personas con diferentes diagnósticos de enfermedad crónica, de las cuales 24 (68.6%) eran mujeres y 11 (31.4%) varones. Resultados: Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que las variables emocionales repercuten en la calidad de vida, al igual que la autoeficacia y algunas estrategias de afrontamiento. Se encuentra además que las personas evaluadas presentan niveles de calidad de vida significativamente menores que la población general, y que parecen existir pocas diferencias en las variables evaluadas entre personas con diagnósticos diferentes y entre hombres y mujeres. Conclusiones: Las variables psicológicas juegan un papel importante en la calidad de vida de las personas con enfermedades crónicas, por lo que es necesario abordarlas. Los resultados obtenidos son acordes a los encontrados en estudios previos, aunque es recomendable seguir investigando con muestras más amplias.
