Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti skrbnički stres kod neformalnih njegovatelja osoba s demencijom i kakav on ima utjecaj na samog neformalnog njegovatelja kroz pregled postojeće literature na ovu temu. Skrbnički se stres javlja usred nekoliko faktora, kao što su okolinski uvjeti, faktori vezani uz sam proces skrbi, faktori na strani oboljele osobe te osobni faktori samog njegovatelja. Skrbnički stres ima teške posljedice na neformalne njegovatelje, a uzrokuje tjelesne i psihičke teškoće te negativno utječe na socijalni život neformalnog njegovatelja. Profil tipičnog neformalnog njegovatelja odnosi se na kćerku osobe o kojoj se skrbi u srednjoj ili starijoj dobi te supružnika, najčešće suprugu. U većini slučajeva neformalni skrbnik živi s osobom o kojoj skrbi, a skrb je svakodnevna i višegodišnja. Pozitivni aspekti skrbi, humor, duhovnost, pravednija raspodjela skrbi među članovima obitelji, postojanje resursa i znanja o bolesti demencije i njenom razvoju djeluju kao čimbenici otpornosti neformalnog njegovatelja i smanjuju i/ili sprječavaju pojavu skrbničkog stresa. Na tom polju važni su i pomoć i podrška stručnjaka, savjetovanje, edukacije, treninzi kontrole stresa te emocionalna podrška.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to investigate caregiver stress among informaln caregivers of people with dementia and how it affects the informal caregiver himself through review of the existing literature on this topis. Caregiver stress occurs in the midst of several factors, such as environmental conditions, factors related to the care process itself, factors related to the sick person and personal factors of the caregiver himself. Caregiver stress has severe consenquences for informal carers. It causes physical and mental disabilities and negatively affects the social life of the informal caregiver. The profil of a typical informal caregiver refers to the daughter of the carereceiver in her middle or old age and the spouse of the carereceiver, mostly the wife. In most cases, the informal caregiver lives with the carereceiver,, caring about a carereceiver on a daily basis and perannial. Positive aspects of care, humor, spirituality, a fairer distribution of care among family members, the availability of resources and knowledge about dementia and its development act as resilience factors of the informal caregiver and reduce and/or prevent the occurence of caregiver stress. The help and support of experts, counseling, education, stress control training and emotional support are also very important for the caregiver.
