چکیده

RESUMO O cuidado domiciliar aos idosos tem no cuidador familiar, geralmente o cônjuge, um grande aliado. Porém, verifica-se que estes freqüentemente têm queixas de saúde. Conhecer o significado de saúde para idosos cuidadores de seus cônjuges, quais as mudanças ocorridas após assumir este papel e como cuidam da própria saúde é o objetivo desse estudo qualitativo exploratório. Foram entrevistados idosos cuidadores de seus cônjuges. Os discursos foram analisados de acordo com a técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo e apresentaram os seguintes resultados: Concepções de saúde: estar disposto, não ter sintomas, não precisar de médico, não depender de alguém ou demandar cuidado. Os cuidados com a própria saúde foram: controle alimentar, respeito às rotinas e hábitos pessoais, desenvolvimento das atividades cotidianas, atividades físicas e acompanhamento médico. Mudanças percebidas após terem se tornado cuidadores: cansaço, stress, preocupação, aparecimento de sintomas e doenças, aumento dos riscos à saúde e mudanças no cotidiano e auto-estima.
