The study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of an intervention program for informal caregivers of elderly dependent incorporating balneotherapy and group psychoeducation (BT-PE) based on the balanced care model. Results showed that primary and secondary caregivers participating in the BT-PE program experienced less burden, higher care satisfaction, and lower levels of maladjustment post-intervention. While both intervention groups saw a significant decrease in depressive symptoms and anxiety, the BT-PE group did not show significantly lower scores compared to the sole BT group.
This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of an intervention program for informal caregivers of elderly dependent that combined balneotherapy with group psychoeducation (BT-PE) based on the balanced care model. The BT-PE intervention (N= 124) was compared with a comparison group only exposed to balneotherapy (BT) (N= 76). The two modalities included both primary and secondary informal caregivers. A three-way mixed ANOVA was conducted to determine the effects of two between-subjects ' factors (intervention group and caregiver type) and one within-subjects ' factor (time) on burden, depression, anxiety, maladjustment and care satisfaction. Results showed less burden and more care satisfaction in both primary and secondary caregivers participating in the BT-PE program after the interventions. Primary caregivers also showed lower levels of maladjustment in the experimental group at post-intervention. Although depressive symptoms and anxiety decreased significantly in both intervention groups, BT-PE did not show lower scores compared with the application of sole BT. The relevance of caregivers ' psychoeducation on the balanced care model and its combination with balneotherapy is highlighted.
