Methods: observational, descriptive and cross sectional study was conducted, the target group was constituted by 79 informal caregivers of old patients confined to bed and the sample included 35 of them who met the inclusion criteria, using theoretical, empirical and statistical (descriptive statistics) methods in the analysis.
Results: the present-day trends in the development of this subject matter were identified, along with the diagnosis of the initial status, determining the regularities that make possible the transformation of its insufficiencies.
Conclusions: the results indicate that there is a need for multidisciplinary actions aimed at improving the informal care process, designing and generating interventions that articulate the activity of caregivers, family, basic working team and the community.
