“…This feeling was associated mainly with the belief that care was inherently part of the couple's relationship [30,31] or a filial responsibility [32][33][34] which was perceived as natural and unquestionable: "He is my father-in-law. It's my responsibility to take good care of him.…”

Purpose: This systematic review aimed to reconceptualise experiences from a variety of papers to provide direction for research, policy and practice.Method: Meta-ethnography was used to inform the review and 21 studies were included.Findings: The analysis identified a core theme of 'engaging in care: struggling through', as carers who wanted to be involved in caring learnt to live with the intense and stressful impact of caring and changes to their life. The core theme is represented through three themes 1) Helping another to live 2) Adapting ways of living and 3) Negotiating the unknown.Conclusions: The discussion identified a focus on carers of people suffering from a hip fracture, the willingness of informal carers to engage in caring and the intense experience of adapting to changes in relationships and dependency alongside a steep experiential learning curve. Tensions exist in negotiations with complex healthcare systems as carers do not feel their expertise is valued and struggle to find and understand information.

“…and their caregivers and found significant reduction in the suffering of caregivers of patients who received their experts in rehabilitation at home, though with no effect on patients' outcomes in a 12-month period (15) . Moreover, some researchers suggested strategies deemed appropriate to minimize problems and suffering in the coping with a new life condition after the traumatic event of PFF, such as providing guidance on the access to online information made available by research centers (30) ; suggesting names of institutions with specialized multidisciplinary teams to meet the needs of the binomial family caregiver -dependent elderly (17,31) ; assessing and stimulating the social perception of caregivers (16,31) and assigning the process of care transition to a case manager (14) , as well as addressing the psychological factors of the caregiver (29) .…”

“…There were also recommendations for the training of caregivers in the development of health education programs (23,(32)(33) ; care models that encourage the participation of elderly and self-care; hospital discharge plan that includes support groups, social service and health care information (16)(17)19) ; and a project of rehabilitation that includes information to caregivers (17,19) .…”

How to cite this article:Rocha SA, Avila MAG, Bocchi SCM. The influence of informal caregivers on the rehabilitation of the elderly in the postoperative period of proximal femoral fracture. Rev Gaúcha Enferm. 2016 mar;37 (1) Results: There was a predominance of studies by Chinese authors and nurses. The analysis of the studies evidenced that falls followed by fractures lead to dependence of older adults and, consequently, an overload to caregivers. Moreover, older adults and caregivers showed a need for support in the rehabilitation process. Conclusions:Informal caregivers still need to be included in care planning and to be qualified for such care by health professionals, since they positively influence functional independence in the postoperative period. Resultados: Predominaram estudos com autoria de chineses e enfermeiros. A análise dos estudos evidenciou que as quedas seguidas por fraturas promovem a dependência de idosos e, consequentemente, a sobrecarga aos cuidadores, demonstrando o binômio idoso dependente-cuidador necessitar de apoio no processo de reabilitação. Keywords Conclusões:Os cuidadores informais ainda precisam ser inseridos no planejamento e capacitados para o cuidado pelos profissionais da saúde, uma vez que influenciam positivamente a independência funcional no pós-operatório.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Verificar la influencia del cuidador informal en la independencia funcional de ancianos en postoperatorio de fractura proximal de fémur por caídas.Método: Revisión integradora, cuyo análisis se reunieron 23 artículos, entre 2002 y 2012, en las bases de datos Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, US National Library of Medicine e Scopus.Resultados: Predominaron estudios con autores chinos y enfermeros. El análisis de los estudios evidenció que las caídas que producen fracturas promueven la dependencia de ancianos y, consecuentemente, sobrecarga en los cuidadores, demostrando la dupla anciano dependiente-cuidador necesidad de apoyo en el proceso de rehabilitación. Conclusiones:Los cuidadores informales necesitan inserción en la planificación, además de capacitación para cuidados por parte de profesionales de salud, toda vez que influyen positivamente en la independencia funcional durante el postoperatorio.Palabras clave: Anciano.

“…The recovery phase after a hip fracture is often difficult for older adults, and the role of informal caregivers is particularly important (Macleod, 2005) for example, sharing information about the patient with healthcare professionals (Nahm et al, 2010). Frequently the unexpected role and the number of activities that occurred felt overwhelming.…”
