“…La mayor parte cuidan a su familiar desde el inicio de la ECNT, con tiempos superiores a siete meses y por más de siete horas diarias, lo que puede significar una labor agobiante e incompatible con una buena calidad de vida (29)(30)(31)(32). Sin embargo, un poco más de la mitad reportan no ser únicos cuidadores y tener apoyos de la familia, espirituales y sociales.…”
