- Abstract
Objective: To grasp the meanings of providing homecare for the elderly from the perspective of family members. Method: qualitative study based on the theoretical framework of Symbolic Interaction, held in the city of Guanambi, Bahia, with 22 family members who cared for older people in the year 2015. We used semi-structured interviews for data collection and Bardin's content analysis. Results: the meanings of caring for elderly are permeated by retribution, reciprocity and gratitude for the previously received care; duty and moral obligation founded on cultural precepts; conjugal commitment and absence of other people to provide the care. Conclusion: the family member provides the care for their elderly loved relatives, but they give different meanings to that care, as they process the provision of care from the way the phenomenon is presented in their social life and is based on previously established relationship interactions.
