Introduction:
Nowadays the male caregivers have increased due to the social changes and the fewer women available to
do this work. In addition, we must to have in mind that the caregiver´s work is, also, a relational work, but there is so few
information about this relationship.
Objectives:
To know the relationship´s characteristics between the men who take care of another dependents people in
province of Seville and the city of Cadiz and the cared person.
Methodology:
The methodology followed is a Qualitative Methodology with population of male family caregivers in the
province of Seville and the city of Cadiz (Andalusia). Sample: 29 interviews. The units of analysis have been: family care,
gender, health and masculinity. We have used QSR Nudist NVivo 10 for the qualitative analysis.
Outcome:
Between the male caregivers and the cared person there is a circular relationship and complementary dependence.
Such is the relationship that caregivers think they must always be with the dependents person and there is an increased
emotional blackmail involved. We have observed situation with a conflict and, also, an excellent relationship. The caregivers
say that the actual relationship dependents on previous relationships. From their discussion we observed love, guilt and
loneliness. When the caregiver is a partner love relationship is frequent but when the caregiver is son relationship is more
frequent and confidence based.
Conclusions:
Relationship with the person cared for is marked by previous experience and usually shows situations of
dependence and power in both directions.
