Resumen
CARRENO-MORENO, Sonia Patricia y CHAPARRO-DIAZ, Lorena. Quality of Life of Caregivers for the Chronically Ill. Aquichan [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.4, pp.447-461. ISSN 1657-5997. https://doi.org/10.5294/aqui.2016.16.4.4.
The high epidemiological, social, economic and cultural impact of chronic non-communicable diseases affects what quality of life means to those who suffer from such illnesses and their family caregivers.
Objective:
Describe how the quality of life of those who care for the chronically ill is constructed.
Method:
Sandelowski and Barroso’s proposal for qualitative metasynthesis was used to develop the study.
Results:
There are three moments in the process: 1) it is affected (programmed cell destruction), 2) transformed (self-control of development and growth) and 3) redefined (condensation). Construction of the meaning of quality of life for the caregiver is conditioned by four factors: social support, spirituality, ability to care and time.
Conclusions:
Quality of life is affected and reconstructed by virtue of the meaning the caregiver assigns to it.
Palabras clave : Quality of life; caregivers; evidence-based nursing; metasynthesis.
