Abstract(s)
De acordo com Paúl & Fonseca cit in Jordão (2012/2013, p. 2), o envelhecimento é um processo complicado de evolução a nível biológico, psicológico e social, isto porque com o avançar da idade muitas alterações vão surgindo exigindo uma contínua adaptação e procura de equilíbrios.
De acordo com o que Grelha (2009, p.45) referencia, o aumento da esperança média de vida leva a um aumento de pessoas na idade idosas que podem evoluir para uma fase que dependam das outras pessoas para realizarem as AVD’s (Atividades de Vida Diárias).
A mulher é vista como a cuidadora de todos os elementos da família e é responsável pela manutenção familiar devido ao seu papel imposto por tradições culturais de geração em geração. (Relvas, 2002, cit in Jordão, 2012/2013, p.10)
Sousa, Figueiredo & Cerqueira, 2004 cit in Pereira, 2015, p.52, refere que a sobrecarga é um conjunto de problemas a nível físico, a nível psicológico e a nível socioeconómico que surge com o decorrer da prestação de cuidados.
