This final degree project is about a proposal for an intervention project for caregivers of
adults over 65 years of age with some dependency in the municipality of Mutxamel, because
currently this sector of the population has increased its life expectancy and with it their care
needs. This need directly affects caregivers, specifically those who provide care informally,
since they imply greater demands due to the profile that usually performs them.
Specifically, performing care work involves living with the person being cared for, not having
hours or remuneration, and not having the necessary training, among other characteristics Therefore, the caregiver will have their mental, physical and social health affected, suffering
occupational injustice, since they will have to adapt their life by incorporating the new role of
caregiver, also reducing their working hours, social participation, family conciliation, etc. All
of this leads to an imbalance in their occupational performance, in addition to feeling
alienated since it is not something they have chosen to do.
Occupational Therapy proposes an intervention developed over 15 months divided into
weekly, individual home and group sessions. During the sessions, the Journaling technique is
used to analyze and evaluate their occupational performance, and thus provide them with the
necessary tools to restore their occupational balance.
