Abstract(s)
Este estudo teve como objetivo geral explorar as experiências afetivas de mulheres, cuidadoras informais, pertencentes a geração sandwich (GS) do Brasil e de Portugal. Os objetivos específicos buscaram compreender e descrever as implicações que exercer o papel de cuidadora multigeracional tem nas várias esferas de suas vidas. Utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa pautado por uma análise de conteúdo de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, com recolha de dados por meio da realização de entrevistas individuais. Para tal, a amostra foi composta por 8 mulheres pertencentes a GS, sendo 4 portuguesas e 4 brasileiras. Depois do tratamento e análise dos dados recolhidos, o foco abrangeu 8 categorias principais: (1) saúde; (2) cuidados prestados aos filhos; (3) cuidados prestados aos(s) idoso(s); (4) experiência afetiva; (5) implicações do papel de cuidadora; (6) ganhos do cuidado multigeracional; (7) dificuldades do cuidado multigeracional e (8) estratégias de coping . Esses dados forneceram importantes indicadores das dificuldades e desafios diários enfrentados por essas mulheres, bem como as habilidades que desenvolveram para lidar com esse papel. Mostrou também que apesar das diferenças culturais entre Brasil e Portugal, há muitas experiências similares, dando assim importantes indicadores para o trabalho dentro do contexto clínico e a necessidade de desenvolver programas de apoio para a saúde da cuidadora, da família e do receptor de cuidados.
