Étude ayant pour objectif d’évaluer l’efficacité des interventions psychoéducatives en ce qui concerne le fardeau, l’anxiété et la dépression chez les aidants familiaux de personnes atteintes de démence vivant à domicile. Dans la démence, la famille assume le rôle d’aidant principal, en maintenant le patient dans un bon état de santé. Néanmoins, la charge, l’anxiété et la dépression peuvent avoir des répercussions négatives sur les aidants. C’est pourquoi il est recommandé d’apporter un soutien professionnel par le biais de programmes psychoéducatifs, en tant qu’interventions visant à améliorer la santé des soignants.
