    Afectaciones en la salud mental de cuidadores familiares y no familiares de personas con enfermedad terminal en la ciudad de Medellín (Colombia)
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Castrillón Jaramillo, María José; Cuartas Arias, Jorge Mauricio
    Objective: To analyze the effects on the mental health of family and non-family caregivers of patients with terminal illness in the city of Medellín (Colombia). Conceptual References. The concepts of mental health, terminal illness, palliative care, grief, overload, caregivers and family members are described. Method. Mixed study whose instruments are a semi-structured interview and a survey applied to 30 family and non-family caregivers of people with terminal illness. Results. Research findings highlight that factors such as fear, uncertainty, helplessness, guilt and exhaustion have a significant impact on the mental health of caregivers. Furthermore, the Zarit Caregiver Overload Scale revealed that the dimensions most affected in the participants are overload in the relationship with the person who suffers from a terminal illness, emotional well-being, social and family life, and loss of control over life itself. It is interesting to note that, despite the differences in the bond and experience between family and non-family caregivers, it does not seem to be a determining factor in measuring the level of overload in each group. Finally, it is highlighted that, in the context of palliative care, ignorance and lack of interest in seeking a support network when facing a loss persist. This underlines the need to raise awareness about the importance of seeking support in palliative care and bereavement situations.

    Estrategia comportamental para aumentar los espacios de desconexión en personal de enfermería, gerontología y cuidadoras en un hogar gerontológico de Medellín
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Múnera Quintero, Victor Alfonso; Aguirre, David Alejandro; Lemos Hoyos, Mariantonia
    This study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate a behavioral intervention using the EAST Framework with the goal of improving the burnout index by increasing disconnection behaviors among nursing assistants, gerontology workers, and caregivers at a Gerontological Home specializing in degenerative diseases (dementia) in Medellín. The intervention consisted of four components: 1. A physical space called the Disconnection Zone, 2. Videos called Wellness Capsules, 3. A WhatsApp group named Conscious Well-being, and 4. Another WhatsApp group called Sharing Well-being. The intervention was evaluated through a qualitative workshop, as initial high desirability prevented participants from reporting burnout levels at the beginning of the intervention. The results indicate that the Disconnection Zone was well received by the healthcare staff, and the disconnection groups were also positively valued, though variability in their use was observed. Additionally, the disconnection videos became a key tool for those experiencing unexpected moments of unrest and stress, due to their easy access and brevity, which allowed them to be used as a quick strategy to increase moments of disconnection for the healthcare staff at the Gerontological Home.
