- Abstract
Being a caregiver causes changes in various contexts of the subject's life. This study aimed to identify changes in the occupational performance of family members who have become caregivers of children or adolescents undergoing treatment for mental disorders. This is a qualitative study, in which 17 caregivers of children or adolescents who were undergoing treatment in a Child and Youth Psychosocial Care Center participated. Data were collected through the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and a semi-structured interview and verified through thematiccategorical analysis. Most participants were female, had problems in personal care and in independence away from home; besides, they decreased workload, including tasks, and reduced recreation and socialization. It was concluded that being a caregiver for a child or adolescent with mental illness influences the performance of self-care activity, productivity and leisure.
