Abstract(s)
O cuidador informal tem nos últimos anos ganho visibilidade em inúmeras investigações. Têm sido desenvolvidos estudos no sentido de analisar as variáveis que influenciam o ato de cuidar, com o objetivo de identificar formas e estratégias para proteger os indivíduos de situações traumáticas. De entre os vários fatores que influenciam o cuidado prestado destacamos neste artigo a importância das emoções e a forma como estas influenciam a sobrecarga no cuidador informal. O estudo realizado teve como metodologia avaliar de forma exploratória o efeito das emoções mal geridas na sobrecarga do cuidador informal, optando-se por uma abordagem qualitativa, exploratória e descritiva. Foram utilizados diversos instrumentos, nomeadamente, um questionário sociodemográfico, entrevistas exploratórias e Questionário de Avaliação da Sobrecarga do Cuidador Informal-QASCI. O programa de intervenção desenvolveu-se em oito sessões com a duração de 60/90 minutos cada uma. Com o desenvolvimento dos instrumentos e do reforço constante dado ao longo das sessões, os cuidadores desenvolveram mais consciência emocional, passando de uma forma mais clara a saber aquilo que sentem, aquilo que os outros sentem, descobrir as causas das emoções e sentimentos e a
compreender comportamentos que têm no seu quotidiano e a assumir uma atitude perante as circunstâncias mais adequada e responsabilizada. O desenvolvimento de sessões em torno das competências emocionais contribuiu para a diminuição da sobrecarga no cuidador informal, verificando-se esta situação nos dados obtidos, onde os cuidadores de uma forma geral diminuíram a sobrecarga, nomeadamente a sobrecarga emocional.
The informal caregiver has in recent years gained visibility in numerous investigations. Studies have been developed to analyze the variables that influence the act of caring, with the objective of identifying ways and strategies to protect individuals from traumatic situations. Among the various factors that influence the care provided, we highlight in this article the importance of emotions and the way in which they influence the burden on the informal caregiver. The methodology used in this study was to assess in an exploratory manner the effect of poorly managed emotions on the overload of informal caregivers, opting for a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive approach. Several instruments were used, namely a sociodemographic questionnaire, exploratory interviews and the Informal Caregiver Burden Assessment Questionnaire-QASCI. The intervention program was developed in eight sessions lasting 60/90 minutes each. With the development of instruments and the constant reinforcement given throughout the sessions, caregivers developed more emotional awareness, becoming more clearly aware of what they feel, what others feel, discovering the causes of emotions and feelings and understanding behaviors they have in their daily lives and to assume a more appropriate and responsible attitude towards the circumstances. The development of sessions around emotional competences contributed to the reduction of overload on the informal caregiver, verifying this situation in the obtained data, where caregivers in general reduced the overload, namely the emotional overload.
