ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the practices of a home care team and their implications for caregivers’ performance. Methods: qualitative study with data obtained from observation of 21 users, 30 caregivers and 6 professionals from the home health care service in a municipality in Minas Gerais, from February to June 2018. The material was analyzed from the perspective of discourse analysis according to Michel Foucault. Results: team interference upon caregivers is exercised by disciplinary practices and prescriptive, authoritative and surveilling behaviors. The team’s knowledge-power relationship determines caregivers’ acceptance through convincing or through difficulty of understanding assigned orientations. Educational practices would enable caregivers to be constituted as active, participative, empowered and reflective subjects. Final Considerations: team practices interfere with caregivers’ ways of acting and being and they have implications in objectification and subjectification processes.

This case study identifies the elements that compose the Quality of Life (QofL) of individuals who were 75 years old or older and receive care at home. The study’s sample was composed of individuals 75 years or older cared for by a home health care service in the primary health care unit in Vilafranca del Penedès, Spain (n=26). The variables included: a) socio-demographic data; b) concept of QofL; c) perception of QofL; d) reasons for their perception; d) satisfaction with life and related aspects; and f) feeling of happiness. Face to face interviews were conducted. A total of 76.9% of the individuals reported a good perception of QofL and the main reasons related to it were: health, family and social relationships, and the ability to adapt. Role Theory and Disengagement Theory explain the adaptation process of these individuals at this point in life.

BACKGROUND: Stroke patients require continued care, which makes stroke family caregivers unlikely to anticipate the end of home health-care service. AIM: The objectives of this study aimed, therefore, to seek understanding of stroke family caregivers in relation to caring experience, problems and barriers, and needs of family caregivers in the context of border provinces of the upper northeast of Thailand. METHODS: The current study was based on the phenomenological approach. The study samples included 16 informants. Data collection, conducted between February and August 2020, was performed using in-depth interviews. The collected data then were analyzed using the van Manen’s approach. RESULTS: Experiences of the stroke family caregivers were reflected and fell in van Manen’s 4 points under 12 thematic categories: (1) Lived body including lack of knowledge, fatigue, and sense of obligation; (2) lived time including paying gratitude, uncertainty, and paying retribution; (3) lived space including just long distance, being isolated in the wide world and living in a remote area; and (4) lived relation including blood thicker than water, community network, and needs from health-care services. CONCLUSION: The findings may be exploited to develop health service preparedness for health outcome promotion for stroke patients and stroke family caregivers.
