Abstract(s)
O objetivo deste estudo consiste em perceber se os cuidadores de doentes oncológicos que sentem as suas necessidades assistenciais satisfeitas, apresentam menores níveis de depressão, ansiedade e stress quando comparados com outro grupo de cuidadores que não sentem as suas necessidades satisfeitas ou apenas satisfeitas parcialmente. Participaram no estudo 49 indivíduos com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 84 anos. Para o presente estudo utilizou-se um questionário sociodemográfico, a versão portuguesa do “Family Inventory Needs (FIN)” e ainda a escala “Escala de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress (EADS-21)”. As necessidades consideradas mais importantes pelos familiares relacionam-se com questões relativas ao bem-estar do doente e menos com questões relacionadas ao próprio bem-estar do cuidador. Conclui-se que, os indivíduos que sentem as suas necessidades satisfeitas parcialmente ou não satisfeitas apresentam valores superiores de depressão, ansiedade e stress. Deste modo, torna-se essencial o desenvolvimento de intervenções de carácter sistémico no âmbito da doença oncológica, tendo como foco não só o doente como também a sua família.
In this sense, meeting the needs of caregivers becomes essential. The aim of this study is to determine whether the caregivers of cancer patients, who feel their needs satisfied, have lower levels of depression, anxiety and stress when compared to another group of caregivers who do not feel their needs met or partially fulfilled. In total, 49 individuals aged 18-84 years participated in the study. For the present study, a sociodemographic questionnaire was used, the Portuguese version of the “Family Inventory Needs” (FIN) and the “Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (EADS-21) scale”. The needs considered more important by family members are related to the patient's well-being and less with issues related to the caregiver's own well-being. It is concluded that individuals who feel their partially satisfied or unsatisfied needs present higher values of depression, anxiety and stress. Therefore way, the development of systemic interventions in the field of cancer disease is essential, focusing not only on the patient but also on his family.
