Resumen
ROMERO-SERRANO, Rocío et al. The metaphors of care in the experiences and feelings of caregivers. Index Enferm [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.2, pp.87-90. Epub 21-Nov-2022. ISSN 1699-5988.
Objective:
to explore the experiences and feelings about care that caregiver's manifest through experiential and emotional metaphors, with special focus on gender differences.
Methods:
Qualitative study through semi-structured interviews. 24 informants, 7 patients and 17 caregivers participated, linked to a social and family support network. A content analysis was carried out with Atlas-ti version 7® software.
Results:
The metaphors expressed through feelings show common feelings in men and women: love and satisfaction. Feelings exclusive to women were identified, that come from gender mandates. It was observed that men are joining care more and more.
Conclusions:
The metaphors found reveal the meanings attributed to care. Women are aware of the value of caring, but they normalize it. Men expect social recognition.
