The time of the caregiver of a patient with cancer, a qualitative approach
El tiempo en el cuidador del paciente con cáncer, un abordaje cualitativo
Main Article Content
The time as a physical magnitude in its most classical conception is for the human being a construction and a subjective mental representation that shapes the perception of time in relation to its speed. Therefore, it is susceptible to variation according to a multiplicity of concepts, including beliefs, one's own mood state and the perception of physical and mental health. Likewise, the past, future and present are subjective representations that depend on factors such as the perception of time, culture and biological time of each subject. Based on the above, the aim of the present study was to describe the concept of time and its importance for the caregiver of the cancer patient, during the phases of the illness. To achieve this aim, a reflexive paper was proposed through narrative, biographical narrative and intertextual reading, supported by the book "The Dreams of Einstein". Was found that there is no a single way of defining time as a rigid, linear and sequential measure, but each person defines and lives his concept of time, through his own experience and temporal history, being able to be a determinant, the health-disease processes. It is concluded then that the perception of time is constructed through the interaction of external time, events throughout life, and the internal time that allows the human being to adapt and to cope the daily challenges.
