The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of caring for the Caregiver course on self-esteem and stress. 26 participants were assessed by applying the scale of self-esteem Rosenberg and Stress Perception Scale before and after the course. For comparison before and after the outcomes’s test for independent samples and the Wilcoxon test were used to evaluate the association we used a X2 RXC and was even held a Spearman correlation. Statistically significant differences were found demonstrating the improvement of these outcomes after the completion of the course. Still, there is a moderate correlation between the change in self-esteem and stress.
