ABSTRACT
The primary objective of this pan Lebanese study was to describe the health care context of family caregivers cohabiting with an elderly relative with loss of autonomy while the secondary objective consisted in the qualitative documentation of their positive and negative perceptions as to the role of the caregivers. The study uses a theoretical framework of stress. The results indicate that the caregivers (N = 319) take care of relatives (40% with memory troubles) having a moderate level of loss of autonomy and who present more depressive behaviors than "disturbing" behaviors. The caregivers are particularly affected by the behaviors of their relatives. They accomplish several health care tasks and very few receive formal services to support them. Their neighborhood offers them more emotional support than instrumental support. More caregivers perceive positive aspects than negative aspects in their role. Recommendations are formulated to guide the elaboration of a national policy of support to caregivers and the development of innovative community care practices.
