“…This framework addresses life-span issues and family changes over time as well as positive versus negative family accommodation to stress and illness. These grandmothers have been forced to deal with both negative and positive aspects of their caregiver role (Martin, 2018). Developing health education programs and other formal supports may have a positive influence on grandmother's perceptions of their changing physical and mental health and support.…”

The study explored the experiences of African-American grandmothers residing in rural communities caring for their grandchildren, while suffering from chronic health issues. The research examined their physical and emotional health, physical functioning, well-being, social support, and resources of these grandmothers from a Family Development approach. Given the trends of providing care for a grandchild, it is widely recognized that caregivers may experience stress, burden, and the disruption of their well-being and social activities as well as the pressure associated with caregiving roles, responsibilities, and tasks. The grandmothers reported challenges that included stressors such as health issues, financial difficulties, limited support, transportation difficulties, and disruption in social activities. A major finding was that the grandmother’s health did not negatively impact their ability to care for their grandchildren.

“…En relación a las tareas que se deben cumplir en esta fase se destaca el incumplimiento de la regulación entre la dependencia y la independencia, ya que no existe un equilibrio entre estos tópicos en la vida de los adultos mayores entrevistados. Al contrario, es posible apreciar cómo los cuidadores cumplen con la tarea de enfrentar la enfermedad y la muerte próxima de su ser querido, haciendo latente en sus relatos esta temática (20).…”

Resumen: El envejecimiento es un proceso que conlleva múltiples cambios en el ser humano, generando que algunos adultos mayores se encuentren en situación de dependencia y requieran un cuidador. Este estudio cualitativo, con enfoque metodológico de estudio de caso, tiene por objetivo conocer las percepciones de adultos mayores que son cuidadores de otro adulto mayor con dependencia severa. Se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad empleando análisis de contenido y se definieron las siguientes categorías de investigación: motivaciones, dificultades, emociones del cuidador, postergación por el bien del otro, redes de apoyo familiares, emociones asociadas al diagnóstico, religión, institucionalización, expectativas de cuidado de enfermería, acceso a beneficios del estado, y muerte. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los cuidadores son mujeres, sin apoyo familiar, que tienen un vínculo sentimental con la persona cuidada, y que sus motivaciones para desempeñar esta labor son el cariño y la obligación. Se observó postergación por parte del cuidador dedicándose por completo a esta labor, abandonando actividades ajenas al cuidado y experimentando sobrecarga acompañada de limitaciones económicas debido a los bajos ingresos que reciben.Abstract: Aging is a process that involves multiple changes in the human being, forcing some elderly people in a situation of dependency to require a caregiver.
