[Caregiving: a necessary shift in perspectives.]
Abstract:
The current article shows that the medical and technological progress of the last twenty years has literally changed the contribution of care that is assumed by close relatives of people living with disabilities. In fact, this progress has had as much impact on the rise, the length and the burden of this contribution than the development of the expertise of these caregivers. Whileas in Québec, the designation of natural caregiver is largely used to refer to close relatives and friends who take care, we will see here that their daily life is directly affected by this progress and implies the search for a new balance between the realities of being close to someone and being a caregiver, which the reference to the new appellation "close caregiver" wants to underline.
