Resumen
CONESA INGLES, María Josefa et al. International migration retirement: self-care group processes among British immigrants retirees. Index Enferm [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.3, pp.133-137. ISSN 1699-5988.
Objective: Identify group self-managed dependence care practices between British immigrants residents in Region de Murcia. Methods: Qualitative research with ethnographic methodological approach. Population: retired British immigrants resident in Mazarrón (Murcia). Strategies for collecting data were in-depth interviews and non-participant observation. Results: The data is structured into 5 categories "Practice self-care network," "Friends and Family", "Sociability and identity spaces", "Perception of the health system in Spain" and "Expectations of future care planning at the end of life". Conclusions: The analysis of self-care practices of immigrant British retirees, shows us a group that manages, partly, dependence through "collaborative care systems" which contrasts with the poor elderly associations in Spain.
