Resumen
[ES] En los últimos años se ha producido un incremento del índice de envejecimiento, así como de la tasa de dependencia, debido al aumento de la esperanza de vida. Las personas mayores que se encuentran en
situación de dependencia requieren de apoyos y cuidados para la satisfacción de las necesidades básicas de la vida diaria. Mayoritariamente, estos apoyos son ofrecidos por el núcleo familiar. Las personas cuidadoras informales experimentan diferentes cambios en su vida debido al desarrollo de la labor del cuidado, dando lugar a la aparición del Síndrome del/la cuidador/a quemado/a. Para el desarrollo de la labor del cuidado, el autocuidado supone el papel más relevante de la acción. La visibilización, concienciación y fomento del autocuidado es esencial en la vida de las personas cuidadoras informales. Es por ello que, el objetivo principal de este trabajo consiste en presentar una propuesta de proyecto de intervención centrado en la formación de las personas cuidadoras no profesionales con la finalidad de mejorar el bienestar y la calidad de vida de las mismas, así como el de las personas que se encuentran en situación de dependencia, a través de la formación en la labor del cuidado y del autocuidado. Para ello, se ha realizado una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica existente sobre el tema y un estudio y análisis de la realidad del municipio donde se quiere desarrollar el proyecto con la finalidad de constatar la información con la realidad para la planificación, diseño y elaboración del proyecto de intervención.
[EN] In recent years, there has been an increase in the aging index, as well as in the dependency rate due to the increase in life expectancy. Elderly people who are in a situation of dependency require support and care to meet the basic needs of daily life. Most of these supports are provided by the nuclear family. Informal caregivers experience different changes in their lives due to the development of care work, leading to the appearance of the Burnt-out Caregiver Syndrome. For the development of care work, self-care is the most relevant acting role. The visibility, awareness and promotion of self-care is fundamental in the lives of informal caregivers. For this reason, the main objective of this work is to present a proposal for an intervention project focused on the training of non-professional caregivers, in order to improve their well-being and quality of life, as well as people who are in a situation dependency, through training in care and self-care work. To accomplish this, a systematic review of the existing scientific literature on the subject and a study and analysis of the reality of the municipality where the project will be developed in order to verify the information with reality for planning, design and elaboration of the intervention project.
