Abstract(s)
O número de pessoas idosas tem aumentado significativamente nas últimas décadas e
encontra-se, frequentemente, associado ao aparecimento de doenças que podem originar
dependência. O apoio pode ser dado por cuidadores da Geração Sandwich, que prestam
cuidados a pessoas idosas e a crianças, e por outros cuidadores, que prestam cuidados a
crianças ou a idosos. Este estudo tem como principal objetivo avaliar e comparar depressão,
ansiedade e stress nos dois grupos. Assim como analisar as suas correlações.
Participaram no estudo 178 pessoas, 98 pertencentes à GS e 80 cuidadores não pertencentes à
GS. A média de idades para a GS de 44.88 anos e de 38.27 anos para os outros cuidadores,
sendo 25,8% (n= 46) do sexo masculino e 74,2% (n= 132) do feminino. Os instrumentos usados
foram um questionário sociodemográfico, o Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI-18), Kingston
Caregiver Stress Scale (KCSS) e a Escala de afeto positivo e negativo (PANAS-VRP).
Os resultados indicaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas na depressão (U= 672,000;
p=0,003) e ansiedade (U= 802,000; p= 0,041) em função do estatuto socioeconómico na GS e,
também, na depressão (U= 501,500; p=0,023) e ansiedade (U= 478,500; p=0,012) nos
cuidadores não pertencentes à GS. Seguidamente, no grupo dos cuidadores observou-se
diferenças estatisticamente significativas no stress em função do género (U= 498,500; p=
0,020), em que as mulheres pertencentes a este grupo relataram maior stress do que os
homens. Por sua vez, o stress está positivamente correlacionado com a depressão (rs= 0,470,
p= 0,000) e ansiedade (rs= 0,425, p= 0,000) na GS e, também, nos outros cuidadores,
depressão (rs = 0,463, p = 0,000) e ansiedade (rs= 0,370, p= 0,001). Os resultados permitem
concluir que as dimensões avaliadas são superiores na GS, encontrando-se positivamente
correlacionadas na GS e nos outros cuidadores.
The number of old people has increased significantly in the last decades and is often associated with the appearance of diseases that can lead to dependence. Support can be provided by Sandwich Generation caregivers who provide care for the old people and children and other caregivers who provide care for children or the elderly. This study has as main objective to evaluate and compare depression, anxiety and stress in both groups. As well as analyzing their correlations. From 178 people, 98 belonging to the GS and 80 non-GS caregivers participated in the study. The mean age for GS was 44.88 years and 38.27 years for other caregivers, with 25.8% (n= 46) males and 74.2% (n= 132) females. The instruments used were a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI-18), Kingston Caregiver Stress Scale (KCSS) and The Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS-VRP). The results indicated statistically significant differences in depression (U= 672,000, p= 0,003) and anxiety (U= 802,000; P= 0,041) as a function of socioeconomic status in GS and also in depression (U= 501,500; p= 0.023) and anxiety (U= 478,500; p= 0.012) in non-GS caregivers. Then, in the caregiver group, statistically significant differences in gender-related stress were observed (U= 498,500; p= 0,020), where the women in this group reported higher stress than men. On the other hand, stress is positively correlated with depression (rS= 0,470, p= 0,000) and anxiety (rS= 0,425, p= 0,000) in GS and also in other caregivers, depression (rS= 0.463, p= 0,000) and anxiety (rS= 0,370, p= 0,001). The results allow us to conclude that the dimensions assessed are higher in GS and are positively correlated in GS and in other caregivers.
