The sample consisted of n=22 informal caregivers of people over 75 years old treated by the Primary Home Care Service Center of Vilafranca del Penedes (Barcelona, Spain). Dimensions used were: socio-demographic data, quality of life and happiness, care burden, social and family relationships, motivation and feelings when caring and the health status of the caregiver. The technique chosen was a semi-structured interview. RESULTS: In our study, half of the caregivers had a regular perception of health and QOL, care burden, a self-care deficit and contradictory feelings towards caring. CONCLUSIONS: The Informal caregivers of dependent elderly of the home care program are mainly older women and with one or more chronic condition. They have a self-care deficit. They say they have little social and personal life. |
