to evaluate the relation between stress and optimism of elderlies who are informal caregivers for elderlies and live with children.
cross-sectional study on 50 elderlies who provide care to elderlies, live with children, and are registered in the primary health care. The interviews occurred in the participant's residence and we evaluated characteristics of the care-dependent elderly and of the children, sociodemographic characteristics, stress through the Perceived Stress Scale and optimism through the Pinto and Pais-Ribeiro Spirituality Scale, in the elderly caregiver. For statistical analysis we used the Spearman correlation test.
the mean level of stress was 23.9 points and of optimism was 3.3 points. Correlation analysis showed that the higher the level of optimism the significantly lower the level of perceived stress of elderlies who provided care to elderlies and lived with children.
inversely proportional correlation was identified between stress and optimism.
评估为老年人提供非正式照料并与子女同住的老年人的压力与乐观之间的关系。
对50名在初级卫生保健机构登记的、为老年人提供照料且与子女同住的老年人进行横断面研究。访谈在参与者家中进行，我们评估了受照料老年人和子女的特征、社会人口学特征、通过感知压力量表评估的压力以及通过平托和佩斯 - 里贝罗精神量表评估的老年人照料者的乐观程度。统计分析采用斯皮尔曼相关性检验。
压力平均水平为23.9分，乐观平均水平为3.3分。相关性分析表明，为老年人提供照料且与子女同住的老年人，其乐观程度越高，感知压力水平显著越低。
压力与乐观之间存在负相关。
