Resumo: Objective: to check the existence of an association between personality traits of the caregiver of elderly people with dementia and family functionality.  Method: cross-sectional study with the participation of 118 caregivers of elderly people with dementia in two geriatric services. The following variables were investigated: family functionality (family APGAR scale); sociodemographic; cognitive impairment of the elderly person (GDS scale); personality traits of the caregiver (NEO-FFI-R inventory); overload (Zarit overload inventory); depressive symptoms (CES-D scale). Beta regression and path modeling were used to check the hypothesis of the influence of these variables on family functionality. Results: Beta regression pointed to a predictive model in which the variables “do not share care”, “cognitive impairment of the elderly person”, “depressive symptoms of the caregiver” and “conscientiousness” have influence on family functionality. Path modeling showed that personality traits of caregivers have a strong influence on overload and depressive symptoms.  Conclusion: The study contributed to highlighting the importance of enhancing the assistance to the caregiver of the elderly person with dementia. The results point to the need for intervention studies that consider the personality of the caregiver, the family support and the psychological health of the caregiver, aiming at the preparation of specific and more effective protocols.

Método: estudio seccional con la participación de 118 cuidadores de ancianos con demencia en dos servicios de geriatría. Se investigaron las siguientes variables: funcionalidad familiar (escala de APGAR de familia); sociodemográficas; deterioro cognitivo del anciano (escala GDS); rasgos de personalidad del cuidador (inventario NEO-FFI-R); sobrecarga (inventario de sobrecarga de Zarit); síntomas depresivos (escala CES-D). La regresión beta y el modelo de ruta se utilizaron para verificar la hipótesis de la influencia de estas variables sobre la funcionalidad familiar. Resultados: La regresión beta señaló un modelo predictivo en el que las variables “no dividir la atención”, “deterioro cognitivo del anciano”, “síntomas depresivos del cuidador” y “conscienciosidad” influyen en la funcionalidad familiar. El modelo de ruta mostró que los rasgos de personalidad de los cuidadores influyen fuertemente en la sobrecarga y en los síntomas depresivos.  Conclusión: el estudio contribuyó a enfatizar la importancia de mejorar la asistencia al cuidador del anciano con demencia. Los resultados apuntan a la necesidad de estudios de intervención que consideren la personalidad del cuidador, el apoyo familiar y la salud psicológica, con miras a elaborar protocolos específicos y más efectivos.Objetivo: verificar existência de associação entre traços de personalidade do cuidador de idoso com demência e funcionalidade familiar. Método: estudo seccional com a participação de 118 cuidadores de idosos com demência em dois serviços de geriatria. Foram investigadas as seguintes variáveis: funcionalidade familiar (escala de APGAR de família); sociodemográficas; comprometimento cognitivo do idoso (escala GDS); traços de personalidade do cuidador (inventário NEO-FFI-R); sobrecarga (inventário de sobrecarga de Zarit); sintomas depressivos (escala CES-D). A regressão beta e a modelagem de caminho foram usadas para verificar a hipótese de influência destas variáveis sobre a funcionalidade familiar. Resultados: A regressão beta apontou um modelo preditivo no qual as variáveis “não dividir o cuidado”, “comprometimento cognitivo do idoso”, “sintomas depressivos do cuidador” e “conscienciosidade” influenciam a funcionalidade familiar. A modelagem de caminho mostrou que os traços de personalidade dos cuidadores influenciam fortemente sobrecarga e sintomas depressivos. Conclusão: O estudo contribuiu para ressaltar a importância de aprimorar a assistência ao cuidador do idoso com demência. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de estudos de intervenção que considerem a personalidade, o apoio familiar e a saúde psicológica do cuidador, visando a elaboração de protocolos específicos e mais eficazes.Research, Society and Development2020-08-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/672510.33448/rsd-v9i9.6725Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 9; e97996725Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 9; e97996725Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 9; e979967252525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/6725/6221Copyright (c) 2020 Thiara Joanna Peçanha da Cruz Tavares, Mirian da Costa Lindolpho, Barbara Martins Corrêa da Silva, Rafael Vera Cruz de Carvalho, Graça Melo, Célia Pereira Caldashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTavares, Thiara Joanna Peçanha da CruzLindolpho, Mirian da CostaSilva, Barbara Martins Corrêa daCarvalho, Rafael Vera Cruz de Silva, Maria da Graça Melo eCaldas, Célia Pereira2020-09-18T01:42:11Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/6725Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:29:44.598563Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
