Psychoeducational intervention against support groups for caregivers
BACKGROUND: To explore the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention compared with support groups and the usual care in caregivers. Providing care involves major changes in the lives of caregivers, with far-reaching repercussions. There is evidence that acting upon its mediator variables reduces its effects. METHODS: A randomised controlled trial was conducted with 35 family caregivers of people with dementia. Mediator variables were asse…
Looking at two psychological interventions with family caregivers of people with dementia through their own lenses
There is interest in demonstrating which interventions with caregivers are most effective. However, there has been little research on their own perception of such efficacy. This study aims to identify and compare the benefits perceived by family caregivers of people with dementia of two interventions (psychoeducational intervention -PI- and support group -SG-) and to see if there are differences in their assessments and narratives depending on wh…
Towards a comprehensive psychosocial profile of the family caregiver of people with dementia
Background The profile of caregivers focuses on socio-demographic variables (age, gender, kinship, and educational level). However, buffer variables (e.g., dysfunctional thoughts) and indicators of the impacts of caregiving (e.g., stress) are often overlooked. Objective The study aims to offer a comprehensive view of the profile of the family caregiver of people with dementia by considering aspects contemplated in theoretical explanatory models o…
Predictors of stress among nursing home staff during Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed immense strain on nursing home staff, necessitating a closer examination of factors contributing to their stress levels. This study investigates predictors of stress among nursing home workers during the pandemic, focusing on psychological constructs such as burnout, sense of coherence (SOC), psychological flexibility, and cognitive fusion. A total of 170 nursing home professionals participated, completing questio…
Do the caregiving spouses of people with dementia in Spain perceive the same barriers for taking part in interventions as caregiving offspring
The aim of this qualitative research is to examine the difficulties perceived by caregivers for taking part in an offered intervention, exploring whether there are differences depending on caregiver's degree of kinship. Forty-two family caregivers from Salamanca (Spain) were interviewed after declining an invitation to take part in an intervention programme. All the telephone conversations were transcribed verbatim. The transcriptions were subjec…
Sense of coherence and burnout in nursing home workers during the Covid‐19 pandemic in Spain
Care staff in nursing homes work in a challenging environment, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated those challenges in an unprecedented way. On the other hand, the sense of coherence (SOC) is a competence that could help these professionals perceive the situation as understandable, manageable and meaningful. This study aims to analyse the extent to which potential risk and protective factors against burnout have affected nursing home worker…
Teaching-life Histories
This research analyses the teaching practice of retired teachers with the objective of inquiring into the initial and continuing training that twenty-first century teachers need. To this end, a semistructured interview was conducted with an incidental, nonprobabilistic sample of 325 participants and performed quantitative analysis of the data with SPSS 23. The descriptive parameters were produced using frequency analysis. Contingency tables were …
Differences Between Young and Old University Students on a Lexical Decision Task
This work compared two common variants of a lexical decision task (LDT) through two different analysis procedures: first, the classical ANOVA method, and second, by fitting the data to an ex-Gaussian distribution function. Two groups of participants (old and young university students) had to perform, blocks of go/no-go and yes/no tasks. Reaction times and error rates were much lower in the go/no-go task than in the yes/no task. Changes in the ex-…
