Abstract(s)
Esta investigação tem como propósito averiguar o efeito mediador da Qualidade da Relação entre o Cuidador e a Pessoa Cuidada na relação entre a Sobrecarga e o Burnout e a Sobrecarga e o Bem-Estar Subjetivo nos cuidadores informais.
Participaram na investigação 75 cuidadores informais, dos quais 65 mulheres (86,7%) e 10 homens (13,3%), sendo que a grande maioria dos participantes reside na zona de Lisboa. A idade dos mesmos variou entre os 22 e os 77 anos (M= 50,03; DP=11,31).
A participação neste estudo consistiu no preenchimento transversal de um conjunto de instrumentos – Questionário Sociodemográfico, Questionário de Avaliação da Sobrecarga para Cuidadores Informais (2015), Escala da Qualidade da Relação entre o Familiar Cuidador e a Pessoa Cuidada (2019), Inventário de Burnout de Maslach (1986), Escala de Satisfação com a Vida (1985) e a Escala de Experiências Positivas e Negativas (2009).
Como esperado, os resultados indicam que as variáveis em análise estão correlacionadas. Verificou-se que a Sobrecarga está relacionada significativamente com o Burnout, o Balanço Afetivo e a Qualidade da Relação Cuidador-Pessoa Cuidada. A par disto, verificou-se que a Qualidade da Relação se encontra associada ao Burnout, no entanto não parece ter impacto no Bem-Estar Subjetivo. Assim, esta ausência de relação revela que a Qualidade da Relação não consegue explicar a relação entre a Sobrecarga e o Bem-Estar Subjetivo. A análise dos modelos de mediação para as demais variáveis, permitiu concluir que a Qualidade da Relação entre o Cuidador Pessoa Cuidada medeia totalmente a relação entre a Satisfação com o Papel e o Familiar e a Realização Pessoal.
The aim of this investigation is to explore the mediating effect of the Quality of the Relationship between the Caregiver and the Cared Person in the connection between Burden and Burnout and the Burden and Subjective Well-being in informal caregivers. 75 informal caregivers participated in the investigation, of which 65 were female (86,7%) and 10 were male (13,3%), considering the largest majority of participants live in the Lisbon area. The age of the participants varies between 22 and 77 years (M= 50,03; SD= 11,31). Participation in this study consisted of completing a set of instruments – Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Burden Assessment Questionnaire for Informal Caregivers (2015), Quality of the Carer-Patient Relationship (2019), Maslach Burnout Inventory (1986), Satisfaction with Life Scale (1985) and the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (2009). As expected, the results indicate that the variables under analysis in this investigation are correlated. It was found that the Burden is significantly related to Burnout, to the Affective Balance and to the Quality of the Caregiver-Cared Person Relationship. In addition, it was found that the Quality of the Relationship is associated with Burnout, however it does not seem to impact Subjective Well-Being. Thus, this lack of correlation reveals that the Quality of the Relationship fails to explain the relationship between Burden and Subjective Well-Being. The analysis of the mediator models for the other variables allowed us to conclude that the Quality of the Relationship between the Caregiver and the Caregiver completely mediates the relationship between Satisfaction with the Role and the Family and Personal Accomplishment.
