HERRERA-JUSTICIA, Sonia e AMEZCUA, Manuel. Social change and the transformation of care in the family. Index Enferm [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.2, e14630. Epub 14-Nov-2023. ISSN 1699-5988. https://dx.doi.org/10.58807/indexenferm20235821.
Despite social changes: does the family still stand as a caring institution, how has its structure changed, have family ties weakened or are they being transformed? This text analyses the evolution of the family from the most classical sociological theories to postmodern thinkers. It reflects on the implications of social change and whether the transformations of the present have become permeable to family dynamics and the caregiving function of the family. As a conclusion, it is envisaged that both the family and its caregiving skills are the mirror of a society in continuous change. A new space is emerging which, as a form of resistance, allows inherited ways of doing things to be used with a renewed vision.
