| Sumario: | This is a thought-provoking essay to identify the family caregiver. Patients’ labour constraints as well as awareness constraints about their condition can take them to dependence, that is when the family caregiver comes into play, working for patients’ partial or full recovery. Some aspects in the family context must be considered, such as family caregivers’ level of education as well as their previous experience with situations of care, and the context itself. These elements underpin nurse – family-caregiver relationship towards care guidance. Thus, family caregivers suffer along with their family members’ disabilities, being unique sensitive figures, often forgotten and ignored, who need attention to meet their duties as family caregivers. |
