The PRECEDE-PROCEED Model and Latina Alzheimer’s Disease Caregivers Name University Mental Health Program Planning February 7, 2012 The PRECEDE-PROCEED Model and Latina Alzheimer’s Disease Caregivers Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive, debilitating neurological disease that presents both a social and Public Health problem (Marshall & Hutchinson, 2001). AD is the fastest growing disease in the United States, currently afflicting an estimated 5.4 million Americans. This number has doubled since 1980 and is expected to be as high as 13.5 million by 2050 (Hebert et al., 2003). The number of those suffering from AD is expanding yearly and following the aging of the Baby Boomers; prevalence will escalate rapidly and is expected to double by 2020, as one out of every eight baby boomers develops this disease (California Council for the Alzheimer’s Association, 2008). Hispanics are the fastest-growing population in the United States. During the first half of the 21st century, the number of Hispanic elders with AD and related dementias could increase more than six-fold, from fewer than 200,000 today to as many as 1.3 million by 2050 (Alzheimer’s Association, 2012). Researchers are beginning to discover the impact of AD on the Hispanic community and it is reported that Hispanics are about 1.5 more times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than whites (Alzheimer’s Association, 2012). 80% of care provided at home is delivered by family caregivers; fewer than 10 percent of older adults receive all of their care from paid workers (Alzheimer’s Association, 2011). In 2010, 14.9 million family and other unpaid caregivers of people with AD and other dementias provided an estimated 17 billion hours of unpaid care which h ad an estimated economic value of $202.6 billion (Alzheimer’s Association, 2011). The strong cultural value of family responsibility is a strength of Hispanic/Latino communities and studies have demonstrated the high sense of filial responsibility for elders, particularly among Hispanic daughters (Mausbach, et al., 2004). Other research shows that Hispanic families tend to have high acceptance of cognitive impairment and dementia and view these diseases as a normal part of aging to be managed within the family (Alzheimer’s Association, 2004). Hispanic/Latino families, particularly daughters and other female relatives, provide a disproportionate share of AD care; including more care for longer periods of time at higher levels of AD impairment than non-Hispanic caregivers (Alzheimer’s Association, 2004). Phase 1—Quality of Life Diagnosis Caregivers of patients with AD suffer from increased rates of depression, physical illness, social isolation, health care utilization, anxiety problems, and anger, as well as decreased quality of life, and emotional strain (Alzheimer’s Association, 2011; Mausbach et al., 2004). The research on Hispanic caregivers is lacking but the findings of one study suggest that in reality, Hispanic caregivers can suffer similar negative effects as their non-minority counterparts which are manifested in physical symptoms (i.e. hypertension, emotional problems, and heart ailments), depression, and stress (Cox & Monk, 1993). Hispanic culture is characterized by values that shape behaviors and give substance to the development of individual identity (Cox & Monk, 1993). The belief in spirituality emphasizes dignity and encourages appropriate respectful behaviors and a high acceptance of fate (Cox & Monk, 1993). These cultural values also influence the care of elderly people (Alzheimer’s Association, 2004). A research study on older Mexican-Americans found that personal beliefs, language proficiency, and economic status were the most frequently perceived barriers to health care (Alzheimer’s Association, 2004). Education appears to have some protective effect against the ravages of AD (Marshall & Hutchinson, 2001). Hispanics have the lowest education levels of any group in the United States and 1 in 10 Hispanic seniors have no formal education (Alzheimer’s Association, 2004). Over half of this population has 8 years of schooling or less (Alzheimer’s Association, 2004). Phase 2—Epidemiological Diagnosis The physical and emotional impact of caregiving on Alzheimer and other dementia caregivers is estimated to result in $7.9 billion in increased healthcare costs in the United States (Alzheimer’s Association, 2011). Research shows that 27% of Hispanic caregivers indicate their health is fair or poor compared to 15% for white caregivers and 15% for Asian-Americans (National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, 2009). In addition to caregiver’s perceived poor health, it has also been reported that caring for persons with dementia impacts a person's immune system for up to 3 years after their caregiving experience ends which increases their chances of developing a chronic illness themselves (Family Caregiver Alliance, 2011). In regards to mental health, 40% to 70% of family caregivers have clinically significant symptoms of depression with about a quarter to half of these caregivers meeting the diagnostic criteria for major depression (Alzheimer’s Association, 2011). In addition to health issues, reports show there is a correlation between a caregiver's health and income. When viewing the data on caregivers who have less than $30,000 in annual household income, 34% report fair or poor health as compared with 3% of caregivers with $100,000 or more (Family Caregiver Alliance, 2011). The same pattern is also found with a caregiver's level of education (Family Caregiver Alliance, 2011). Phase 3—Behavioral and Environmental Diagnosis In this phase you will describe the behaviors that impact depression, compromised immune systems or overall poor health (pick one). Describe these behavioral risk factors and their distribution. In Phase 4 you will categorize the influences on the behavior into predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors. Phase 6— Implementation In regards to the Latino caregiving community, it is important to facilitate the development of culturally relevant and meaningful interventions. Outcome goals for using a multi-component intervention such as Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer’s Caregiver Health (REACH) include decreasing depressive symptoms, stress, and anger, and improving overall quality of life, self-care, social support, and care giving abilities.

Explanation & Answer

Here you go, get back to me if there is any edit i can help with

Phase 3—Behavioral and Environmental Diagnosis
In this phase, you will describe the behaviours that impact depression, compromised
immune systems or overall poor health (pick one). Describe these behavioural risk factors
and their distribution.
Depression is a concept that caregivers struggle with during their normal day to life at the
caregiving centres. Researches show that approximately 70% of caregivers are in the danger of
either suffering from depression or are already suffering from depression already. Poor social
support is one of the conceptual risk factors that tend to impact depression on the caregivers.
Caregivers are heavily dependent on in terms of doing their jobs to provide care for their patients
(Mazure, 1998). On the other hand, a good number of caregivers lack the support they need from
society itself. The most effective aspect is in the alignment of the fact that people expect them to
care but in return, are not concerned with who will care for the caregivers. This lack of strong
social support is a risk factor to the caregivers and to any other professions in general where they
give certain caring service to the clients.
Moreover, a caregiving environment has been ruled as a highly stressful environment. This is
aligned with the fact that highly stressful situations tend to be risk factors about preeminent
depressive conditions. The distribution of this aspect is not limited to certain factors. Hence a good
number of caregivers who end up with depression are 50% more likely to have had no social
support...
