Abstract:
This is a report of experience about the development of a program designed especially for the orientation of elderly people who care for elderly relatives at home. It was carried out by the coordinators of the Group of Attention for Elderly People's Health (GRASI), of the Campinas State University's Clinics Hospital. This program was developed based on the needs reported by elderly caregivers who take part in the activities of the GRASI. The participants reported that the program made coping with the difficulties related to caregiving better; that there had been an improvement in the understanding of the changes brought by the aging process; and that it made possible the development of procedures that make easier the daily relationship with the elderly that is being cared for.
