The experience of family members with the care of a non-self-sufficient senior

Summary/Abstract: This article is a summary of the main findings in my master’s thesis. My diploma thesis deals with the experience of family members with the care of a non-self-sufficient senior. The main aim is to take a look at this issue from the point of view of the caregivers and to examine how family caregivers perceive their situation. A qualitative research strategy was selected for the research and data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 20 caregivers — 10 males and 10 females. The empirical part maps the care of a non-self-sufficient family member from the point of view both women and men. Afterwards, it describes the circumstances in which a person becomes a family caregiver, the form of care, the difficulties and the needs the caregiver experiences during the described care. The centre of attention are also the themes emphasized by female and male caregivers.
