Abstract(s)
A transformação socioeconómica coloca grandes desafios às Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade
Social, principalmente aos Centros Sociais e aos seus cuidadores formais. A formação poderá ser uma variável
fundamental para o bem-estar dos cuidadores formais. Por isso, é importante compreender a relação entre a
formação e os níveis de stress, de ansiedade e de depressão (SAD) em cuidadores formais que lidam com idosos,
doentes crónicos e crianças (Barbosa, Cruz, Figueiredo, Marques & Sousa, 2011; Lopes, 2005; Sousa, 2011;
Vicente & Oliveira, 2011).
A partir de um estudo quantitativo observacional descritivo transversal, em que participaram 110
cuidadores formais de três Centros Sociais do distrito de Braga, verificou-se que quase um terço da amostra
apresenta sintomatologia psicopatológica.
A variável formação não parece interferir nos níveis de stress, de ansiedade e de depressão da maior parte
dos cuidadores. A variação destes níveis parece explicar-se melhor pela multifuncionalidade dos cuidadores
formais.
The socio-economic transformation brings great challenges to Private Institutions of Social Solidarity, particularly to the Social Centres and their formal caregivers. Training can be essential to the well-being of caregivers. So, it is important to understand the relation between training and the levels of stress, anxiety and depression (SAD) in formal caregivers who deal with the elderly, chronically ill and children (Barbosa, Cruz, Figueiredo Marques and Sousa, 2011; Lopes, 2005; Sousa, 2011; Vincent & Oliveira, 2011). From an observational cross-sectional quantitative study, in which 110 formal caregivers from three Social Centres in the district of Braga attended, almost a third of the sample showed psychopathological symptoms. The training does not seem to influence the levels of stress, anxiety and depression for most caregivers. The variation of these levels seems to be explained best by the multifunctionality of formal caregivers.
