Involvement in self-care and psychological well-being of Spanish family caregivers of relatives with dementia.

The provision of continuous care to a dependent person can lead to a lack of self-care by the caregiver themselves with corresponding low levels of well-being. This well-being has been analysed mostly from within the perspective of the hedonic tradition, with the development of personal growth often being overlooked. This study aims to increase the understanding of the connection between this type of psychological well-being and involvement in self-care activities, and to be a starting point for the determination of categories that may serve in the screening of potential participants in social-health interventions where it is being promoted.

Physiotherapeutic intervention to promote self-care: exploratory study on Spanish caregivers of patients with dementia.

The caregivers of dependent persons should benefit from social-health interventions that empower them. Physiotherapists can play an important role as facilitators of self-care learning by boosting the mind-body interaction. The aim of this study was to analyse the efficacy of a physiotherapeutic intervention centered on the promotion of self-care within a sample of caregivers, members of four Spanish Associations of Relative of Alzheimer's and other dementias.
