CERQUERA CORDOBA, Ara Mercedes  and  PABON POCHES, Daysy Katherine. Psychological intervention model for informal caregivers of patients with Alzheimer. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.11, n.2, pp.181-192. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-9998.2015.0002.01.

The aim of this study is to design a model of psychological resilience intervention with cognitive behavioral approach for informal caregivers of patients with Alzheimer-type dementia. It takes into account the depression, burden, resilience, social support and coping strategies variables, regarded as influential in the literature on the role of the caregiver. The design takes into account the methodology of Mori (2008) and for the evaluation of both the model structure and process, the quality service evaluation proposal of Donabedian (2005). It is concluded that the design of intervention programs for caregivers of Alzheimer's patients appears as a necessary alternative to counteract the effects of care. This model provides necessary information to facilitate replication in other contexts providing the required elements for implementation
