ResumoObjetivos: Cuidar de uma pessoa no fim da vida é um evento cada vez mais comum e constitui um desafio a nível físico, emocional, relacional e desenvolvimental. A integridade familiar, processo emocional caraterizado por sentimentos de conexão, continuidade e pertença na família, constitui um desafio normal no desenvolvimento das pessoas idosas, influenciado por fatores do sistema familiar. Este estudo explora as experiências de pessoas idosas cuidadoras principais de familiares com doença terminal e analisa a sua influência na construção da integridade familiar. Método: Foi administrada uma entrevista semiestruturada 10 cuidadoras familiares (65 a 80 anos). Resultados: Os resultados indicam que a prestação de cuidados familiares a pessoas com doença terminal constitui uma oportunidade de manifestação de apoio/responsabilidade familiar. Emergem especificidades relacionadas com o ato de cuidar que contribuem para o desenvolvimento da integridade familiar, nomeadamente: i) sentimentos de utilidade que alimentam o dever cumprido; ii) transmissão de um legado familiar simbólico (pautado pela ajuda ao próximo); iii) divisão de tarefas e responsabilidade familiar que garantem a perceção do apoio recebido e a libertação do ato de cuidar. Conclusão: Conclusão este estudo contribui para a valorização do cuidador familiar idoso e do sistema familiar como um todo, enaltecendo as alterações na configuração e dinâmica familiar. Palavras-Chave: integridade familiar, cuidadores familiares, cuidados paliativos, doença terminal AbstractObjectives: Caring for a person at the end of life is an increasingly common, as well as a physically, emotionally, relationally and developmentally challenging event. The family integrity, as an emotional process characterized by feelings of connection, continuity and belonging in the family, is a normal developmental challenge for the elderly, being heavily influenced by family system factors. This study explores the experiences of elderly caregivers of a relative with terminal illness and analyses its influence on the construction of family integrity. Method: A semi-structured interview was administered to 10 relative caregivers (65-80 years). Results: Results indicate that taking care of relatives with terminal illness is an opportunity to express support and responsibility. Specific aspects related to the act of caring that contribute to the development of family integrity, arise, namely: i) feelings of usefulness that nurture the accomplished duty; ii) transmission of a symbolic family legacy (marked by service to others); iii) division of family tasks and responsibility that enhance the perception of the support received and the release of caring. Conclusion: This study contributes to the appreciation of the elderly relative caregiver and of the family system as a wholeenhancingthe family configuration and dynamics.

“…in which older people assume the role of "keeper of meaning" (embodying traditions of the past, thus providing vital family and social links between the past, present and future; Vailland, 2002). Marques (2013) and Marques and Sousa (2011, 2012a, 2012b studied the processes leading to family integrity (versus disconnection and alienation) considering different contexts. Marques and Sousa (2012a) analyzed life trajectories of elderly persons who had always lived in poverty; the main findings suggested that the risk of family disconnection and alienation is greater in these persons; however, family integrity is achieved by those who develop a philosophy of life that emphasizes the acceptance of the past.…”

Furthermore, Marques and Sousa (2011) examined the trajectories of persons, now elderly, who emigrated and returned to the country of origin (Portugal): former Portuguese emigrants -to understand how life events associated with emigration influenced the construction of family integrity versus family disconnection and alienation.…”

“…The instruments comprised: a questionnaire to collect socio-demographic data (age, profession, household composition, academic level, marital status, previous heterosexual relationships throughout live); and a semistructured interview to explore the construction of family integrity, based on (King & Wynne, 2004;Marques, 2013;Marques & Sousa, 2011, 2012a, 2012bSilva et al, 2010). For this study, one question was added at the end of each domain, focusing on the influence of homosexuality: "Is there any event associated with your homosexuality that you think has influenced (positively or negatively) any of these aspects?"…”

“…Ageing involves normative challenges that are similar for homosexual and heterosexual people, but there are enough differences to warrant discussion of the homosexual challenges (Barrett, Whyte, Comfort, Lyons, & Crameri, 2015). Furthermore, older age has mainly been explored in terms of pathology, dependence and caregiving; however, development is coextensive to life, demanding the study of older people and their families from a developmental perspective (Marques, 2013;Marques & Sousa, 2011, 2012a, 2012bSilva, Marques, Santos, & Sousa, 2010). Family integrity offers a developmental approach to ageing, associating the construction of the self (E. H. Erikson, 1950) with a vaster process of relational development within the family system (King & Wynne, 2004).…”

Abstract:Research in the field of older gay men remains scarce. This exploratory study examines older gay men's experiences in the construction of family integrity (versus disconnection and alienation). The family integrity approach is a developmental perspective that links ego integrity to a larger process of constructing meaning within the family system. The sample comprises ten participants (from 60 to 88 years old). A semi-structured interview was conducted and submitted to content analysis. The main findings suggest three experiences in older gay men's construction of family integrity: (i) influence of homosexuality throughout life; (ii) establishing a family of choice; (iii) creating a legacy associated with homosexuality. Family integrity in older gay men seems to evolve from disclosure at a young age to making homosexuality a legacy in old age. Keywords: old age, homosexuality, family relations, identity Homens Idosos Homossexuais Portugueses: Caminhos Para a Integridade FamiliarResumo: A investigação centrada em homens idosos homossexuais ainda é escassa. Este estudo exploratório analisa especificidades da homossexualidade na construção da integridade familiar (versus desconexão ou alienação). A integridade familiar é uma perspectiva de desenvolvimento que associa a integridade do ego a um processo mais vasto de construção de significado dentro do sistema familiar. A amostra reúne 10 participantes (60-88 anos). A entrevista semi-estruturada foi administrada e submetida à análise de conteúdo. Os principais resultados sugerem três especificidades na construção da integridade familiar: (i) influência da homossexualidade ao longo da vida; (ii) formar uma família de escolha; (iii) formar um legado associado à homossexualidade. A integridade familiar em idosos homossexuais parece evoluir da divulgação (da homossexualidade) na juventude, ganhando ascendência na velhice quando a homossexualidade se torna um legado. Palavras-chave: velhice, homossexualidade, relações familiares, identidade Hombres Gay Mayores Portugueses: Vías Para Acceder a la Integridad FamiliarResumen: La investigación cuanto a los hombres gay mayores sigue escasa. Este estudio exploratorio examina especificidades de la homosexualidad en la construcción de la integridad familiar (vs desconexión o alienación). La integridad familiar es una perspectiva de desarrollo que vincula la integridad del yo con el amplio proceso de construcción de significado dentro del sistema familiar. La muestra reúne 10 participantes (60 a 88 años). Una entrevista semiestructurada fue administrada y sometida al análisis de contenido. Los hallazgos sugieren tres especificidades en la construcción de la integridad familiar: (i) influencia de la homosexualidad durante la vida; (ii) formar una familia de elección; (iii) formar un legado asociado con la homosexualidad. La integridad familiar en los hombres gay mayores parece evolucionar de la divulgación (homosexualidad) en la juventud para convertirse en un legado en la vejez.
