Book Description
De algún modo, en el transcurso de nuestras vidas todos somos, hemos sido o seremos cuidadores y personas a las que cuidar. El tipo de cuidado que se realiza con las personas más próximas, y que habitualmente es llevado a cabo por el cuidador informal, desempeña un papel esencial en la atención a los cada vez más numerosos mayores dependientes de nuestro país que mayoritariamente residen en sus hogares. La labor de estos cuidadores conlleva numerosos costes personales. Quienes asumen ese rol se hacen cargo de una gran cantidad de tareas, lo que les pone en una situación de alta vulnerabilidad y estrés, que incrementa el riesgo de padecer diversos problemas físicos y emocionales. Resulta esencial el apoyo a estos cuidadores, ayudándoles a cuidar y a cuidarse mejor. Ese es precisamente el objetivo de esta obra, mejorar, si no la situación en la que se encuentran los cuidadores, sí la capacidad de éstos para hacerle frente. Se trata de proporcionar a los cuidadores informales estrategias que les ayuden a manejar la situación en la que se encuentran, manteniendo en la medida de lo posible su bienestar y el de la persona a la que cuidan.

Book Description
Cuidar de un familiar mayor dependiente en el hogar supone una situación de estrés que incrementa el riesgo de padecer importantes alteraciones emocionales. La presente tesis doctoral plantea el desarrollo y evaluación de la eficacia de un programa de intervención dirigido a enseñar a estos cuidadores a manejar de manera efectiva las distintas situaciones de estrés a las que van a tener que enfrentarse.Para establecer la eficacia del programa se compararon sus efectos con un grupo control en lista de espera. Así mismo, se valoró la eficacia diferencial del programa aplicado de manera individual en dos formatos diferentes: intervención cara a cara (8 sesiones) y mínimo contacto terapéutico (3 sesiones). Se utilizó un diseño experimental multigrupo (con dos grupos experimentales y grupo control) con medidas repetidas (lista de espera, pre, postratamiento, y seguimientos al cabo de 1, 3, 6 y 12 meses). La muestra total estuvo constituida por 91 cuidadores. Los instrumentos de evaluación empleados para medir el cambio terapéutico fueron tanto una entrevista individual como autoinformes de variables emocionales (e.g. ansiedad, depresión, ira) y de variables mediadoras de dicha problemática emocional (e.g. estrategias de afrontamiento, apoyo social, sobrecarga subjetiva, autoestima). A la luz de los resultados obtenidos se puede concluir que: (a) La intervención, en sus dos formatos, muestra ser más eficaz que el grupo control; (b) Tanto desde el punto de vista de la significación clínica como estadística, el formato de intervención cara a cara resulta ser más eficaz que el de mínimo contacto terapéutico; (c) El formato cara a cara revela unas drásticas mejorías entre el pre y el postratamiento, mientras que el formato de mínimo contacto presenta una mejorías progresivas en los seguimientos y (d) La satisfacción de los cuidadores es alta en todos los casos, aunque mayor en los participantes del formato cara a cara.

Book Description
El presente estudio fue uno exploratorio en donde 71 cuidadores de pacientes de Alzheimer residentes de Puerto Rico, 34 formales y 37 informales, fueron partícipes. Basándonos en las preguntas de estudio ‘¿Qué relación existe entre los niveles de estrés, ansiedad y depresión, con los niveles del Síndrome del Cuidador en aquellos cuidadores de adultos mayores con Alzheimer residentes en Puerto Rico?’, ‘¿Como se comparan estos niveles entre los cuidadores formales e informales?’, y ‘¿Qué poder predictivo existe entre los niveles de depresión con los niveles del Síndrome del Cuidador en aquellos cuidadores de adultos mayores con Alzheimer residentes en Puerto Rico? ́ se exploraronlas distinciones entre los niveles de estrés, ansiedad y depresión, y el subsecuente efecto en el síndrome de cuidador entre grupos. Se descubrió mediante análisis de correlaciones, de varianza multivariado, y de regresiones simples y múltiples, que los procesos de ansiedad y depresión mantienen mayor relación y poder predictivo ante los niveles de Síndrome del Cuidador tanto en cuidadores formales como en cuidadores informales.

Book Description
Anger is an emotional state that may range in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage. Anger has physical effects including raising the heart rate and blood pressure and the levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Anger is a (physiological and psychological) response to a perceived threat to self or important others, present, past, or future. The threat may appear to be real, discussed, or imagined. Anger is often a response to the perception of threat due to a physical conflict, injustice, negligence, humiliation or betrayal among other contentions. The expression of anger can be through active or passive behaviours. In the case of "active" emotion the angry person "lashes out" verbally or physically at an intended target. When anger is a "passive" emotion it is characterised by silent sulking, passive-aggressive behaviour (hostility) and tension. This new book presents leading-edge research in this field.

Book Description
Carers are the bedrock of community care, and yet our understanding of how they do and do not fit into the care system is limited. Concern is often expressed about the need to support carers, but the best way to do this is not always clear. This book breaks new ground in exploring the reality of how service providers the doctors, social workers, and community nurses respond to carers. It looks at which carers get help and why, analyzing how age, relationship, class and gender structure the responses of service providers and carers. It examines the moral and policy issues posed by trying to incorporate carers' interests into service provision. What would services look like if they took the needs of carers seriously? How far can they afford to do so? Is this only achieved at the expense of disabled people? What is the proper relationship between carers and services? Carers pose in acute form many of the central dilemmas of social welfare, and the account presented here has the widest significance for the analysis of community care. Focusing on the views of carers as well as service providers, the book looks at caring across a variety of relationships and conditions, including people with mental health problems and learning disabilities.

Book Description
This volume provides a broad and critical presentation of the behavioral and psychosocial treatments of Latinxs with dementia in the United States (U.S.) and across a representative sample of Spanish-speaking countries in the world. The compendium of chapters, written by researchers, practitioners, and policy analysts from multiple disciplines provides a deep exploration of the current state of dementia care for Latinxs in the U.S. and around the globe. The volume is designed to increase and strengthen the collective scientific and sociocultural understanding of the epidemiological and biopsychosocial factors, as well as the overlapping systemic challenges that impact diagnosis and symptom management of Latinxs with dementia. The authors introduce policy options to reduce risk factors for dementia and present culturally-responsive interventions that meet the needs of Latinx patients and their caregivers. Highlighted topics featured in the book include: Contextual, cultural, and socio-political issues of Latinxs with dementia. New meta-analysis of dementia rates in the Americas and Caribbean. Dementia-related behavioral issues and placement considerations. Educational, diagnostic, and supportive psychosocial interventions. Pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and ethnocultural healthcare interventions. Intersectionality as a practice of dementia care for sexual and gender minoritized Latinxs. Prescriptions for policy and programs to empower older Latinxs and their families. Caring for Latinxs with Dementia in a Globalized World: Behavioral and Psychosocial Treatments is a resource that accentuates and contextualizes the heterogeneity in nationality, immigration, race, sexual orientation, gender, and political realities. It is a key reference for a wide range of fields inclusive of demography, geriatrics, gerontology, medicine, mental health, neurology, neuropsychology, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacology, psychiatry, psychology, rehabilitation, social work, sociology, and statistics all of which, collectively, bear on the problem and the solutions for better care for Latinxs affected by dementia.

Book Description
The main objective of this work is to provide a book with high quality content that becomes a reference and support for graduate course (Mental Health, Public Health and Epidemiology) and for research in the domain of health economics applied to mental health. Also this book might be useful for policymakers on formulating mental health policies. Key messages of this book are based on: a) mental illness represent a huge cost for society and for health care; b) health economics applied to mental health could help in the optimization of resource allocation for mental health care and for better decision making in terms of balancing costs and benefits; c) interventions and treatment should be also chosen in general medical practice and in public decision-policy according to cost-effectiveness, burden of disease and equity principles; d) quality of care is related with better outcomes, higher quality of life for clients, and with lower costs for society and health system (best value for money); e) it is possible to decrease the burden of mental disorders with cost-effective treatments. The book is divided in four main topics: 1. Introduction to Health Economics applied to Mental Health – this section is an overview of basic principles, concepts and methods used in Economics and Health Economics to enable students to make critical appraisal of Health Economics texts and also to design research studies in this topic. 2. Health Economics applied to the evaluation of quality and costs of Mental Health Services – this section presents results of Brazilian studies on the costs of mental health care (hospital, outpatient care, residential care, informal care), methods on the measurement of costs and it discusses issues related with public policies decisions and quality of mental health car in the low and middle income countries context. There is also an overview of quality indicators of mental health care and instruments to evaluate mental health services and costs.3. Health Economics applied to evaluate treatment of mental disorders - This section presents a review of cost-effectiveness of pharmacological treatments and other interventions applied for treating the most burdensome mental disorders such as depressive and anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, psychosis, alcohol and drug disorders, dementia, and hyper attention deficit disorders. 4. Health Economics, burden and indirect costs of mental disorders - This section highlights the social and economic burden caused by mental illness under societal perspective focusing on stigma, unemployment, indirect costs in the workplace (absenteeism and presenteeism), the relationship between poverty and mental disorders, global health and social determinants of mental health and on the costs of mental disorders (depression, anxiety, psychosis, alcohol and drug disorders). We present some instruments to measure indirect costs of mental disorders.
