Objective: To investigate the meanings given by women caregivers to their care practices and to analyze the relationship between such practices and their work history. Method: This was a phenomenological qualitative cohort study conducted in Seville, Spain, with family caregivers. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and submitted to content analysis, using Atlas-ti GmbH software version 5.0®. The following categories emerged: caregiving history and work history, and the meaning of care in their lives. Results: Twenty caregivers participated in the study. Women caregivers told stories of wide-ranging care, including several individuals in their family at different moments. They performed different forms of care, encompassing physical and social dimensions. Their discourse expressed the contradiction between their caregiving role and entering and/or maintaining their place in the labor market. Conclusion: The women expressed a concept of comprehensive care that includes responsibility, availability, and companionship, as well as emotional states, which greatly impact health. They tailored their participation in the labor market according to their family’s care needs. Thus, the gender perspective must be incorporated by health care providers who work with the health of caregivers.

Objetivo principal: explorar las vivencias y sentimientos sobre el cuidado que manifiestan las personas cuidadoras a través de las metáforas, profundizando en las diferencias de género. Metodología: Estudio cualitativo a través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Participaron 24 informantes, 7 pacientes y 17 personas cuidadoras vinculadas a una red de apoyo socio familiar. Se llevó a cabo un análisis del contenido con el software Atlas-ti versión 7®. Resultados principales: Las metáforas expresadas a través de los sentimientos muestran sentimientos comunes en hombres y mujeres: el amor y la satisfacción. Se identificaron sentimientos exclusivos de mujeres, que beben de mandatos de género. Se observó que los hombres se están incorporando al cuidado. Conclusión principal: Las metáforas encontradas desvelan los significados que se atribuyen al cuidado. Las mujeres son conscientes del valor de cuidar, pero lo normalizan. Los hombres esperan reconocimiento social.

Aim: To explore the experiences of primary healthcare (PHC) nurses caring for women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) in a context of institutional support for the management of this health issue. Design: Secondary qualitative analysis.Methods: A purposeful sample (n = 19) of registered nurses, working in a PHC setting, with experience providing care to women who had disclosed intimate partner violence completed an in-depth interview. Thematic analysis was used to code, categorize and synthesize the data.Results: Four themes were developed from the analysis of the interview transcripts.The first two themes address the characteristics of the type of violence most frequently encountered by participants, and how these characteristics shape the needs of women and the care nurses provide them. The third theme encompasses uncertainties and strategies developed to deal with the aggressor during the consultations as the woman's companion or as the patient himself. Finally, the fourth theme reflects the positive and negative consequences of caring for women exposed to intimate partner violence. Conclusion:When there is a supportive legal framework and health system to address IPV, nurses are able to implement evidence-based best practices in caring for women experiencing intimate partner violence. The predominant type of violence experienced by women at the time they enter the healthcare system shapes their needs and the service/unit they reach. These varying needs should be considered in the development of training programmes for nurses and should be adapted for different healthcare services. Caring for women experiencing intimate partner violence implies an emotional burden even in an institutional supportive context. Therefore, actions to prevent nurses' burnout should be considered and implemented.Impact: Lack of institutional support usually hinders the potential role nurses can play in the care provided to women who have experienced intimate partner violence.

Objetivo: Explorar las prácticas de promoción de la salud de las enfermeras de atención primaria en la violencia de género con la población adolescente. Metodología: Estudio cualitativo a través de grupos de discusión y entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Participaron 37 informantes, 23 enfermeras y 14 enfermeros, vinculados a atención primaria de Sevilla y provincia. Se llevó a cabo un análisis del contenido con el software QSR NudisNVivo12®. Resultados: Del análisis emergen varias categorías: prácticas para la educación de la población adolescente, prácticas para la detección de situaciones desigualitarias y prácticas para intervenir en la violencia en el noviazgo. Conclusiones: Enfermeras y enfermeros realizan intervenciones educativas promoviendo relaciones igualitarias, con diferentes técnicas. Solo las enfermeras realizan cribado y asesorías para detectar casos. Enfermeras y enfermeros realizan intervenciones para interrumpir relaciones abusivas.
