CERQUERA CORDOBA, ARA MERCEDES y PABON POCHES, DAYSY KATHERINE. Resilience and Associated Variables in Informal Caregivers of Alzheimer Patients. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.1, pp.47-62. ISSN 0121-5469. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v25n1.44558.
Resilience is a protective variable in the role of the caregiver and, as such, this study aims to identify the relationship between resilience and overload, depression, perception of social support and coping strategies. This is a cross-sectional study of correlational scope that included a sample of 101 caregivers, which were evaluated via instruments such as Zarit, MOS, IDER, Coping, and the Wagnild and Young's Resilience Scale. Statistically significant positive correlations were identified between social support and resilience, and between problem solving as a coping strategy and resilience. Negative correlations with depression were also found. These results reflect protective and risk factors that can contribute to the creation of future programs of intervention.
