Abstract

General Objectives: determine the acquisition of knowledge of a program aimed at inmigrant caregivers multicomponent intervention and the influence of group intervention in the immigrant, caregiver burden and perception of social support.Specific objectives: profile and socio-labour situation of immigrant caregivers.MethodologyDesign: cross-transverse descriptive study.Intervention multicomponent in seminar-workshop with pre/post test, delivery of support materials. Four sessions of 1 h 30. Study population: 50 IC of the intervention group.Variables: Level of knowledge (variable result), socio-demographic variables, the scales as Duke-UNC, SCI of Zarit.Analysis: To achieve a 90% power to detect differences in the contrast of the null hypothesis H0:p1 = p2 through a bilateral chi-squared test for two independent samples, taking into account the level of significance is 5%, it will be necessary to include 50 CI of the intervention group.Results: The 41.3% (n 20), presented social support, caregiver 38% (n 19) overload, with sufficient care 30% (15 n) knowledge, prior to intervention. Differences after the intervention, were found in the level of knowledge of the 90.4% (n 43). Significant difference was not found in the overload of the carers immigrants, or in social support.Discussion and conclusions: educational workshops have improved levels of knowledge of CI. Different studies show caregivers overload is more "resistant" to this type of intervention. You can influence the lack of significance of the overload of immigrant caregivers and social support, the little sample of participants.
