Evaluation of the EHPAD Caregiver/Pact & Pad Psycho-educational Program for Caregivers With an Institutionalized Parent

Detailed Summary

Moving into an institution is a new stage in the life of the patient but also of the caregiver. The caregiver is overwhelmed by various feelings such as loss of control, powerlessness, guilt, sadness, the feeling of loneliness at home but also relief. This experience can be characterized by great anxiety and the feeling of being misunderstood by the family and professional environment. This emotional state is not without consequences for the caregiver/resident and caregiver/care team relationship. Several factors have been identified that may be at the origin of these states. A new training, information and support program has been created to present these different factors to caregivers and to allow them to address them with professionals in a group setting.
