Resumo: | The situation of caregivers and family caregivers of dependent elderly people is presented and discussed, highlighting their dedication, problems and possible referrals to value them. It is known that the task of caring is eminently feminine, invisible, unpaid, but it affects society as a whole. The policies of some European countries, Canada and the United States in favor of caregivers and caregivers are described. However, most existing support models have gaps; the laws and regulations created have been poorly understood, inorganic and the family remains responsible for long-lived relatives who have lost their autonomy. In the European Union, the tendency is to integrate the familiar care as the first level of primary health, making support to the caregivers universal. It must not be forgotten that the tendency to keep the elderly dependent at home is acquiescence to their own desire, but it also hides the delegation of responsibility from the State to families through policies of deshospitalization and deinstitutionalization. In Brazil, the issue has not yet entered the public policy radar, although it is urgent because of the accelerated increase of the elderly population, in particular, those aged 80 and over. |

Apresenta-se e discute-se a situação das cuidadoras e cuidadores familiares de idosos dependentes. Ressaltam-se sua dedicação, seus problemas e encaminhamentos para valorizá-los. Sabe-se que a tarefa de cuidar é eminentemente feminina, invisível, não remunerada, mas afeta a sociedade como um todo. Descrevem-se as políticas vigentes em alguns países europeus, Canadá e Estados Unidos a favor das cuidadoras e cuidadores. A maioria dos modelos de suporte existentes apresenta lacunas. Leis e regulações criadas têm sido pouco compreensivas, inorgânicas e a família continua a ser a responsável pelos parentes longevos que perderam autonomia. Em vários desses países, além de outras medidas, a tendência é integrar os cuidados familiares como primeiro patamar da atenção básica em saúde, universalizando o apoio aos cuicadores. Não se pode esquecer que a tendência de manter o idoso dependente em casa é uma aquiescência a seu próprio desejo, embora também oculte a delegação de responsabilidade do Estado às famílias por meio das políticas de desospitalização e desinstitucionalização. No Brasil, o tema ainda não entrou no radar das políticas públicas, embora seja urgente pelo acelerado aumento da população idosa, em particular, da que tem 80 anos e mais.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-10-05info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/127910.1590/SciELOPreprints.1279porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/1279/1990Copyright (c) 2020 Maria Cecília de Souza Minayohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMinayo, Maria Cecília de Souzareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-09-30T18:44:48Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/1279Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-09-30T18:44:48SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse |

description |
The situation of caregivers and family caregivers of dependent elderly people is presented and discussed, highlighting their dedication, problems and possible referrals to value them. It is known that the task of caring is eminently feminine, invisible, unpaid, but it affects society as a whole. The policies of some European countries, Canada and the United States in favor of caregivers and caregivers are described. However, most existing support models have gaps; the laws and regulations created have been poorly understood, inorganic and the family remains responsible for long-lived relatives who have lost their autonomy. In the European Union, the tendency is to integrate the familiar care as the first level of primary health, making support to the caregivers universal. It must not be forgotten that the tendency to keep the elderly dependent at home is acquiescence to their own desire, but it also hides the delegation of responsibility from the State to families through policies of deshospitalization and deinstitutionalization. In Brazil, the issue has not yet entered the public policy radar, although it is urgent because of the accelerated increase of the elderly population, in particular, those aged 80 and over. |
