Abstract

In early 2000 the first steps in the empirical evidence of the effects that a good emotional intelligence (EI ) can have on people, however, despite the benefits of studied this construct in various fields such as education, labor or health, there are not many studies focusing on the study of skills that EI has on caregivers of Alzheimer. In this paper Social Skills and IE caregivers of Alzheimer patients are evaluated. A psychoeducational intervention to 21 informal caregivers of Alzheimer's patients with an experimental group and a control group in the Alzheimer associations of Alicante and Elche. After surgery, it is observed that the levels of emotional IE in the experimental group were maintained. Caregivers verbalized an improvement after surgery. We believe that the results are good as a preliminary study and it would be interesting to expand both the number of hours of the workshop as the subject in order to generalize the results.
