“…According to recent research, these feelings are understandable, considering that many caregivers do not receive help from others in caregiving tasks, have less time for themselves, and may become socially isolated. It is known that any activity requires planning, as caregivers need to reorganize their routines to find someone to stay with the dependent during their absence, and this is not always possible 9,22,[32][33][34][35] .…”

“…However, an interesting factor is that the family caregiver is usually a user of the same BHU as the older person. Studies indicate that they are not addressed during home visits as users of the unit, with their own problems or complaints, but rather as informants about the health conditions of the dependent older adult 9,12,23,[32][33][34][35] .…”

Objective To identify caregivers' understanding of healthcare assistance received from primary health care regarding their own health. Method A qualitative study based on Alfred Schütz's phenomenology was conducted. The approach to caregivers of bedridden older adults was carried out by community health agents within their coverage area in a primary health care unit located in the northern region of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The choice of location was convenience-based. Data collection took place between September and December 2022 in households. A questionnaire containing questions about the participants' sociodemographic profile, along with six phenomenological questions to understand the typical experiences of each caregiver of older adults and their intentionality, was administered. Data were analyzed using phenomenological methods. Results Sixteen caregivers of bedridden older adults participated, with fifteen being female, fifteen having a family relationship with the care recipient, and fifteen lacking training qualifying them for the caregiver role. 37.5% of caregivers were aged 61 years or older. Regarding the typical experiences, the following categories emerged from the participants' narratives: 1- Physical, emotional, and social impacts on the caregiver's health; 2- Need for qualification; 3- Support from the healthcare team, with a subcategory: 3.1- Absence of medical and/or nursing professionals. Conclusion It was understood that caregivers are invisible and do not receive healthcare assistance from the healthcare team for their own health. When home visits occur, professionals focus on attending to the older adult, fragmenting the assistance that should be extended to the needs of the family community, including the caregiver.

“…De acordo com pesquisas recentes, esses sentimentos são compreensíveis, tendo em vista que muitas deles não recebem ajuda de outras pessoas nas tarefas de cuidado, têm menos tempo para si, além de se isolarem socialmente. Sabese que qualquer atividade requer um planejamento, pois os cuidadores precisam de uma reorganização na rotina para encontrar alguém para ficar com o dependente no período de sua ausência e nem sempre isso é possível 19,22,[32][33][34][35] .…”

“…Porém, um fator interessante é que o cuidador familiar costuma ser usuário da mesma UBS da pessoa idosa, e estudos apontam que ele não é abordado na visita domiciliar como usuário da unidade, com seus próprios problemas ou queixas, e sim como informante das condições de saúde da pessoa idosa dependente 9,12,23,[32][33][34][35] .…”

Resumo Objetivo Identificar a compreensão de cuidadores de pessoas idosas acamadas acerca da assistência recebida pela atenção primária em relação à sua própria saúde. Método Estudo qualitativo baseado na fenomenologia de Alfred Schütz. A abordagem dos cuidadores de pessoas idosas acamadas ocorreu pelo agente comunitário em sua área de abrangência em uma unidade básica de saúde localizada no norte do Espírito Santo, Brasil. A escolha do local se deu por conveniência. A coleta de dados ocorreu entre os meses de setembro a dezembro de 2022 nos domicílios. Aplicou-se um questionário contendo questões sobre o perfil sociodemográfico dos participantes, somados a seis perguntas fenomenológicas para entender o típico vivido de cada cuidador de pessoas idosas e sua intencionalidade. Os dados foram analisados à luz da fenomenologia. Resultados Participaram 16 cuidadores de pessoas idosas acamadas, sendo 15 do sexo feminino, 15 tinham laço familiar; 15 não receberam treinamento que o qualificasse na função. 37,5% dos cuidadores apresentaram idade acima de 61 anos. Em relação ao típico vivido, emergiram das falas as seguintes categorias: 1- Impactos físicos, emocionais e sociais na saúde do cuidador; 2- Necessidade de qualificação; 3- Suporte da equipe de saúde e a subcategoria: 3.1- Ausência do profissional médico e/ou enfermeiro. Conclusão Compreendeu-se que os cuidadores são invisíveis e não recebem assistência da equipe de saúde para a sua saúde, e quando ocorre a visita domiciliar, os profissionais visam o atendimento a pessoa idosa fragmentando a assistência que deveria ser ampliada para as necessidades da comunidade familiar, incluindo o cuidador.
