ResumenEl tiempo, como magnitud física en su concepción más clásica, es para el ser humano una construcción y una representación mental subjetiva que moldea la percepción del mismo en relación a su velocidad. De ahí que es susceptible de variación de acuerdo a una multiplicidad de conceptos, incluyendo creencias, el propio estado de ánimo y la percepción de salud física y mental. Igualmente, el pasado, el futuro y el presente son representaciones subjetivas que dependen de factores como la percepción de tiempo, la cultura y el tiempo biológico de cada persona. Basado en lo anterior, el objetivo del presente artículo fue refl exionar sobre el concepto de tiempo y su importancia para el cuidador del paciente con cáncer, durante las fases de la enfermedad. Para lograr dicho objetivo se planteó la realización de una investigación de tipo cualitativo a través de la narrativa, el relato biográfi co y la lectura intertextual, apoyándose del libro "Los Sueños de Einstein". Se encontró que no existe una única forma de defi nir el tiempo como una medida rígida, lineal y secuencial, sino que cada persona defi ne y vive su propio concepto de tiempo a través de su propia experiencia e historia temporal, pudiendo ser un determinante, los procesos de salud-enfermedad. Se concluye, entonces, que la percepción del tiempo se construye por medio de la interacción del tiempo externo, los sucesos a lo largo de la vida y el tiempo interno que permite al ser humano adaptarse y afrontar los desafíos cotidianos Palabras Clave: Tiempo, Cuidadores, Enfermedad, Percepción. AbstractThe time as a physical magnitude in its most classical conception, is for the human being, a construction and a subjective mental representation that molds its perception related to its velocity. From there it is susceptible to variation according to the multiplicity of concepts, including beliefs, the state of mind and the perception of physical and mental health. Similarly, the past, the future and the present are subjective representations that depend on factors such as time perception, culture and biological time of each person. Based on this, the objective of this article was to refl ect on the concept of time and its importance for the caregiver of a patient diagnosed with cancer, during the phases of the disease. To accomplish this objective a qualitative research was performed though the narrative, the bibliographical story, and the intertextual reading, relying on the book "The Dreams of Einstein". It was found that a unique form to measure time as a rigid, lineal, and sequential measure does not exist, but that each person defines and lives its own concept of time throughout their own experiences and temporal history, with the processes of health-disease being a possible determinant. It is concluded, then, that the perception of time is constructed through the interaction of external time, the events throughout life and the internal time that allows the human being to adapt and face the daily challenges.Keywords: Time, Caregivers, Disease, Perception Re...
