Abstract
La dependencia y los cuidados representan dos temáticas profusamente investigadas en las últimas tres décadas en un contexto de clara preocupación ante las previsiones demográficas que diagnostican un fuerte crecimiento de las personas en situación de necesidad de ayuda para su desenvolvimiento cotidiano. Ante la tradicional separación de estos dos objetos de estudio, la investigación realizada trata de centrar su mirada en la experiencia de las relaciones de dependencia mediadas por el cuidado informal o familiar como un fenómeno en el que ambas problemáticas confluyen. Se quería conocer cómo era la experiencia íntima de las personas afectadas por una relación de dependencia y cuáles eran las estructuras ideológicas que modulan las formas particulares en las que esta relación se comprende. La hipótesis implícita en tal planteamiento estriba en que, por sí misma, la relación representa un fenómeno investigable en cuanto que incorpora una serie de determinaciones sobre un entorno que estructura en modos específicos la experiencia cotidiana de las personas que lo conforman. El acercamiento a la realidad investigada ha considerado el enfoque cualitativo como el más apropiado para acceder a los discursos sobre la intimidad y las estructuras ideológicas que sustentan la comprensión de la misma. Partiendo de la idea de trabajar a partes iguales con los discursos de las cuidadoras y las personas en situación de dependencia, el diseño de la muestra se realizó a partir de las variables género, clase social y edad como las tres condiciones de las que se esperaba una mayor incidencia sobre las posiciones discursivas desplegadas. A tales fines, se decidió realizar 8 entrevistas en profundidad (4 con cuidadoras y 4 con dependientes), 4 grupos de discusión y 3 grupos triangulares (4 con cuidadores y 3 con dependientes), realizando posteriormente el análisis conjunto de todos los testimonios obtenidos. Tal análisis propició dos bloques analíticos separados: un análisis estructural de las posiciones ideológicas ante la responsabilidad frente al cuidado y una descripción etnográfica de la vida cotidiana en la que las relaciones de dependencia toman forma...
Dependence and care represent two widely investigated topics in the past three decades within a context of big concern, due to demographic forecasts, that diagnosis reports a strong growth of people in need of help and care for their daily needs and capabilities. Formerly the traditional separation of these two subjects of study has focused on the experience of dependent relations mediated by informal or family care as a phenomenon in which both issues converge. The aim was to know how were those intimate experiences of those people affected by a relation of dependency, and which were the ideological structures that modulate the particular ways in which this relation is understood. The implicit assumption of this approach is that this relation is, by itself, a researchable phenomenon that incorporates a number of determinations over an environment which structures in very specific ways the everyday experience of the people who comprise it. The approach to the investigated reality has considered the qualitative perspective as the most appropriated one to access the speeches on privacy and the ideological structures that support the understanding of care. Starting from the idea of working equally with the discourses of the caregivers and the people in situation of dependency, the design of the sample was based on the variables gender, social class and age. Taken these as the conditions expected to generate a greater impact on the displayed discursive positions. To that end, it was decided to carry out 8 in-depth interviews (4 with caregivers and 4 with dependents), 4 discussion groups, and three triangular groups (4 with caregivers and 3 dependents), performing, afterwards, the analysis of all the evidence obtained. This analysis led to two separate analytical blocks: a structural analysis of the ideological positions when facing the care tasks, and an ethnographic description of daily living in which the dependent relationships take form...
