The research literature has begun to demonstrate associations between personal strengths and enhanced psychosocial functioning of dementia caregivers, but these relationships have not been examined in the context of dementia caregivers in Latin America. The present study examined whether personal strengths, including resilience, optimism, and sense of coherence, were associated with mental and physical health related quality of life (HRQOL) in 130 dementia caregivers in Mexico and Argentina. Structural equation modeling found that the personal strengths collectively accounted for 58.4% of the variance in caregiver mental HRQOL, and resilience, sense of coherence, and optimism each had unique effects. In comparison, the personal strengths together accounted for 8.9% of the variance in caregiver physical HRQOL, and only sense of coherence yielded a unique effect. These results underscore the need to construct and disseminate empirically supported interventions based in part on important personal strengths, particularly sense of coherence, for this underrepresented group.

Menopausal Women

Climacterium syndrome is a collection of symptoms experienced by a woman who started at the end of the reproductives until the five years after menopause. This time is a difficult time that women must be passed on with different complaints from each individual. The complaint can be categorized into four complaints such as physical complaints, vasomotor complaints, psychosocial complaints, urogenital complaints. Various complaints experienced can decrease the quality of life of women. Complaints experienced by menopause women can be assessed by Menopausal Rating Scale (MRS).This research is a descriptive type of research with a crosssectional design that aims to determine the description of menopausal complaints experienced by menopausal women in two locations in Pematangsiantar City. The results of the study illustrate that women who are examined in two research locations experience menopausal complaints in the weight category, especially in psychological and urogenital complaints. There is a health care effort in women before the menopause arrives. It is very important to prepare women in receiving the menopause and face the various complaints that will be experienced.

Introduction:It has been proposed that sailing can improve quality of life, personal and social skills of people with severe psychosocial disabilities. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a psychosocial rehabilitative intervention focused on sailing on quality of life, self-efficacy and sense of coherence in people with severe psychosocial disabilities.Methods:The study was a randomized, with parallel groups, waiting-list controlled trial. Participants were 51 people with severe psychosocial disabilities. The intervention was a structured course to learn sailing in a crew lasting three months. A randomized group began the sailing course immediately after a pre-treatment assessment; the waitlist group began the sailing course after a three months period of treatments as usual. Participants were assessed before and after the sailing course, or the waiting list period, on the General Self-Efficacy scale (GSES), Sense Of Coherence scale (SOC) and Health Survey-short form (SF-12).Results:Self-efficacy significantly increased after the sailing course and decreased after treatment as usual (p=0.015). Sense of coherence and the levels of quality of life tended to improve after the sailing course, albeit below levels of statistical significance.Conclusion:When compared to more traditional psychosocial rehabilitative activities, an intervention focused on sailing in a crew positively impacts the sense of coherence and the levels of quality of life and significantly improves self-efficacy of people with severe psychosocial disabilities. Further longitudinal research is required.
