Background:

Spain faces a growing population of individuals over 65 requiring daily assistance.
Informal caregivers play a vital role but often lack adequate support and understanding.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the experiences and resource needs of informal caregivers in Spain.
To identify gaps in current support systems for caregivers of individuals with dementia, cancer, or neurodegenerative conditions.

Main Methods:

Grounded theory methodology was employed.
Focus groups were conducted in Barcelona, Malaga, Seville, and Tenerife with informal caregivers.

Main Results:

Two main categories emerged: understanding the caregiving experience and caregiving resources.
Caregivers expressed a need to share their experiences and highlighted limitations in accessing and locating support resources.
A significant feeling of isolation was reported, indicating a lack of social recognition and policy support.

Conclusions:

Informal caregivers in Spain require better access to information and support services.
There is a pressing need for increased social awareness and policy development to address the challenges faced by informal caregivers.
