CAMPOS-ROMERO, Solange; MARQUEZ-DOREN, Francisca e PERUCCA GALLEGOS, Daniela. Living the experience of caring for an elderly relative and being employed: roles in conflict. Gerokomos [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.4, pp.230-233. Epub 17-Jan-2022. ISSN 1134-928X.
Objective:
To reveal the lived experience of people who perform the double role of caring for a dependent elderly relative and working remuneratively.
Methodology:
qualitative phenomenological research of 14 people who participated in a family worker-caregiver support program, and were caregivers of a dependent elderly person, from whom the experience was collected through a semi-structured interview. It was interviewed until a saturation of meanings was reached. The analysis was performed through the method proposed by Streubert.
Results:
the phenomenon was revealed in the comprehensive multiplicity of roles category composed of the subcategories distress/burden and guilt.
Conclusions:
it is urgent to make visible the consequences of the multiplicity of roles and develop public policies for their reconciliation.
