QUESTIONS SELF-EVALUATION TOOL

EMOSENIORS is an Erasmus+ project funded by the European Commission that aims to generate a positive impact on the emotional situation of seniors, improving their integration into society and their quality of life.
Although the elderly are the final beneficiaries of our project, we believe that the role played by caregivers of the elderly in this context is fundamental. Therefore, our aim is also to promote emotional skills among caregivers, so that they can improve their quality of life and therefore that of the people they care for.
The following questionnaire consists of a self-evaluation to check the possible difficulties and obstacles that caregivers encounter when dealing emotionally with the elderly.
It consists of 36 questions related to the twelve main difficulties we have identified that can affect caregivers. Please rate from 1 to 5 your level of agreement with the following sentences.
