Seven family caregivers of men with tracheostomy due to cancer, enrolled in a High Complexity Oncology Care Unit (UNACON), participated in the study. Results: The following categories emerged: tension of the role of caregiver; interrupted family processes; and role of nursing professionals in hospital and in primary care. Conclusion: The experience of the family caregiver is related to changes of his personal life, daily routine and feelings triggered by the need to take on a new role.
