Introduction: Behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia (BPSD) are the principal sources of stress in caregivers. The aim of the present work is to analyze the moderating effect of self-efficacy for managing BPSD on the distress these problems generate in family caregivers. Method: The participants were 231 family caregivers of people with dementia. We assessed the frequency and caregiver distress associated with three dimensions of BPSD (depressive, disruptive and memory problems). In addition, we assessed the moderating effect of self-efficacy for dealing with BPSD in the relationship between the dementia patient’s frequency of BPSD and caregiver distress through hierarchical regression analyses, one for each of the dimensions of BPSD. Results: We found a moderating effect of self-efficacy on the relation between the frequency of BPSD and the distress in caregivers for the dimensions of depressive and disruptive behaviors. Caregivers having to deal with a high frequency of behavior problems but with high levels of self-efficacy presented significantly lower levels of distress associated with depressive and disruptive behavior problems compared to those caregivers with low levels of self-efficacy. No differences in the effects of self-efficacy were found for distress levels of caregivers who dealt with low frequency of BPSD. Also, we did not find a moderating effect of self-efficacy on the relation between the frequency of memory problems and caregivers’ distress. Conclusions: The results suggest that self-efficacy for managing BPSD attenuates the relation between the frequency of behavior problems - both disruptive and depressive - and the distress they cause in caregivers.
The importance of Family Support profiles in the wellbeing of parents of an infant: loneliness and positive affect. Preliminary analysis
(Dykinson, 2023) Pedroso-Chaparro, María del Sequeros; de la Vega Castelo, Ariadna; Nogales-González, Celia; Romero Moreno, Rosa; Vara García, Carlos
the main aim of this study has been to analyze potential differences between parents of an infant who report high, medium or low levels of family support on indicators of mental health (positive affect and perceived loneliness). A total of 64 parents of an infant child participated in the study. All participants resided in the Community of Madrid (Spain). The inclusion criteria for participation in the study were: (a) being over 18 years and (b) having a child between the ages of 0 and 6 years old. As Table 1 shows, the mean age of the participants was 40.36 years, most of the participants were female, had between 1 and 4 children aged 0-19 years, and most were married.The results show new results regarding the protective effect of family support, specifically in relation to the association between higher levels of family support and lower levels of loneliness and greater levels of positive affect in parents. These results suggest the importance of attending to family support for those preventive or interventive actions aimed to reduce psychological distress in parents of an infant, including frequent feelings of loneliness and reduced positive affect.
