Caregivers are exposed to many situations in which they experience emotional, cognitive, behavioral and physiological reactions that cause difficulties and stress. The elderly population has considerable life experience, as well as coping capacities in crisis, uncertainty, stress, etc. At the same time, the elderly can be vulnerable due to the reduction of personal and environmental resources. Coping with loneliness, and the needs of the elderly, may also put a strain on the staff during routine and crisis affecting their functioning.
