- Abstract
Objective: to identify, through the Systematization of Nursing Care, the way how the health profile of an elderly person reverberates in the life of the home caregiver. Method: this is a descriptive study, with a case study design and qualitative approach, supported on the theoretical framework of Orem's Self-Care. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Universidade Estadual Vale do Acarau, under the CAAE 2534.0.000.039-10. Results: caring for the dependent elderly person reverberates in the caregiver's life, generating some levels of stress, deficiencies in the caregiver's self-care, and lack of performance of routine activities, since the caregiver attributed to himself the duty of caring for as a strategy to repay the genitor for all the latter had already provided him with. Conclusion: strategies comprising the quality of life of the elderly persons' caregiver are needed, since the Brazilian society, besides caring for those who are becoming elder, should pay attention to their caregivers before they become "hidden patients".
