Abstract: | The growing ageing population we witness today is one of the biggest challenges for the human being. In the first line of intervention of Health care social workers, we observe how this phenomenon occurs at least in two senses. At one end, the number of dependant elderly people is rising and therefore the need of providing them with support. This study focuses on the individuals becoming informal caregivers of elderly people, and also on the type of intervention carried out by Health care social workers with this population group. With that aim, a literature review was done to shed some light on the issues of: a) the profile of informal caregivers of elderly people and the consequences of performing this task; and b) the type of intervention proposed and/or implemented by Health care social work facing these workers’ needs. This entailed a reflection on the presence of the perspective of Health care social work in relation to these topics in the academic field and also on the importance of incorporating the gender perspective to the design and implementation of their professional practice. |
