Abstract

Introduzione: La mutualití , intesa come sentimento di intimití  e relazione positiva tra caregiver e carereceiver, sta acquistando un interesse crescente nel panorama della ricerca internazionale alla luce del cambiamento sociodemografico e dell'aumento delle patologie cronico-degenerative. Lo scopo di questo articolo è effettuare un'analisi critica della letteratura sulla mutualití  al fine di individuarne i predittori e gli outcome Metodo: E' stata eseguita una ricerca bibliografica sulle banche dati PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Sociological Abstract ed ASSIA e sono stati selezionati 20 articoli. Risultati: Dall'analisi critica degli articoli la mutualití  emerge come variabile fondamentale nel processo del caregiving e nella salute psicofisica del caregiver e carereceiver. Nei caregiver, alti livelli di mutualití  sono associati a minore stress, depressione e burden a ad una migliore qualití  di vita e salute percepita; nei pazienti un'alta mutualití  è in grado di velocizzare il recupero dalla malattia, ridurre l'ansia e la depressione e migliorare la qualití  di vita. Conclusioni: Studi futuri finalizzati allo studio di questa variabile anche nella popolazione italiana potrebbero essere di supporto a sviluppare programmi mirati a migliorare la qualití  di vita dei caregiver e carereceiver. Key words: Mutualití , caregiver, carereceiver

Mutuality in caregiving: a literature review

Introduction: Mutuality, understood as a feeling of intimacy and positive relationship between caregiver and care receiver, is gaining an increasing interest in the scientific arena in the light of socio-demographic change and the increase in chronic degenerative diseases. The purpose of this article is to carry out a critical analysis of the literature on mutuality in order to identify predictors and outcomes. Method: A literature search was carried out the databases PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and ASSIA Sociological. Twenty (20) articles were selected. By analysing critically all articles, emerges that mutuality is a key variable in the process of care giving and in mental and physical health of both caregiver and care-receiver. In the caregiver, high levels of mutuality are associated with less stress, depression and burden to a better quality of life and self perceived health; in patients high mutuality is able to speed up the recovery from the disease, to reduce anxiety and depression and to improve the quality of life. Conclusion: Future studies aimed at the study of this variable also in the Italian population could be of support in developing programs to improve quality of life of caregivers and care receiver.
