Wives are often the primary caregivers of adult patients facing a neoplastic disease. Due to their partner’s high levels of suffering, they have a greater chance of developing responses to anticipatory grief.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of anticipatory grief on spouse caregivers of patients with
hematological cancer under treatment at a university hospital in the interior of São Paulo State, Brazil.
Ten wives participated, with an average age of 39 years. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and submitted to thematic analysis. Two categories were constructed: “Individual characteristics of caregivers that facilitate or hinder the elaboration of losses and changes in daily life” and
“Perceived effects on the subjective well-being and mental health of spouse caregivers”. As the main
responsible for the care, women are more prone to the impact of anticipatory grief. The changes in family, social and occupational roles caused by the illness triggered emotions compatible with anticipatory
grief. Personal resources to deal with change and loss are influenced by age, education, social class,
occupation status, and religion, which modulate the demands of the illness on the patient’s partner.
Women described burden of caregiving and its effect on their mental health and emotional balance. The
results highlight that more health policies are needed to address the needs of female caregivers as a
vulnerable group.
