Background: Resilience is a multidimensional construct that explains why people facing the consequences of adversity and stress can have a positive outcome, emphasizing adjustment to experiences that are perceived as threatening. Objective: The aim of this study is to review the construct of resilience and associated variables in caregivers of patients with chronic, advanced illness and at the end of life. Methods: The review included studies published between January 2009 and January 2019, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guide reporting. The Medline, ScienceDirect, HINARI, PsychINFO, and SciELO databases were used for bibliographic exploration to identify research studies that examined the impact of resilience on adaptation and overall well-being in caregivers of patients with chronic and advanced illness. Results: A total of 23 quantitative and qualitative studies were identified whose aim was to describe the role of resilience in adaptation and coping in caregivers. In these studies, resilience was associated with a positive impact on the quality of life and emotional distress. Communication and social support increase resilient coping strategies. In most selected articles, the sampling strategy used was convenience sampling. Data collection used evaluation scales related to resilience and associated variables for quantitative studies, and semistructured interviews were used for qualitative studies. Conclusion: Promoting a resilient coping style in caregivers reduces the distress that normally results from illness-related changes in the biopsychosocial and spiritual dimensions. A resilient coping style can diminish the risk of stress and burden, and promote adaptation in the caregiver.

“…These results are consistent with different authors’ findings [13,40], regarding women who carry out long hours of unpaid housework and care tasks. Taking into account the level of overload these women experience due to the tasks they perform [41], emotional exhaustion is predicted [42], and as the level of overload increases, resilience decreases [43]. They generally face this task alone, without the social or family support they need, and are left vulnerable to stress, emotional exhaustion and risk to their health [44].…”

Background: Emotional exhaustion causes adverse effects in those who suffer from it. Housewives are not excluded. Domestic and care chores, which are considered to be sources of stress, increase when taking on the role of caregiver for a family member with Alzheimer’s disease. Objective: To analyse the influence of emotional exhaustion, somatic symptoms and social dysfunction, based on the activity they carry out. Methodology: Cross-sectional survey. 193 women participated, of which: housewives (HWs) (n = 97), and Alzheimer’s patient caregiver-housewives (CHWs) (n = 96). The evaluation tools were: sociodemographic/working data questionnaire (ad hoc), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Goldberg General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). Results: High rates of emotional exhaustion are observed, as well as an existing positive link between chronic diseases, somatic symptoms and social dysfunction. The structural model indicates that emotional exhaustion predicts the amount and extent of diseases, somatic symptoms and social dysfunction. The influence is higher in CHWs. Limitations: Sample procedure implemented at convenience; the variable of the grade of dependence of the Alzheimer’s patient caregiver was not included in the study. Conclusions: The domestic and care chores that HWs and CHWs carry out affect their health. Hence the need to develop psychoeducative programmes that are adapted to the particular needs of these women and focused on the different areas of their everyday lives.

“…It would therefore be of interest in future research to undertake the study of variables which can orient specific strategies and personal resources that need to be promoted in these women; in other words, those variables that could influence how they cope with their caregiving tasks, and what would help determine risk factors and protection from developing burnout, in general and in each of its dimensions, and from affecting their physical and emotional health in their personal situation. In view of all of the above, previous studies on burnout, and in particular, those focusing on caregiving, have found that some of these variables could be, for example, the quality of the relationship between the caregiver and the patient before the need for care arose, self-care of the caregiver herself, their feelings of competence, resilience, post-traumatic growth, and the type of coping strategy employed (see Avargues-Navarro et al, 2010;Fernández-Lansac and Crespo, 2011;Hodgins et al, 2011;Díaz and Ponsada, 2017;Navarro-Abal et al, 2017;Pérez-San-Gregorio et al, 2017;Campos-Puente et al, 2019).…”
