to reveal the felt and normative needs of primary family caregivers when providing instrumental support to older adults enrolled in a Home Care Program in a Primary Health Service in the South of Brazil.
using Bradshaw's taxonomy of needs to explore the caregiver's felt needs (stated needs) and normative needs (defined by professionals), a mixed exploratory study was conducted in three steps: Descriptive quantitative phase with 39 older adults and their caregiver, using a data sheet based on patient records; Qualitative exploratory phase that included 21 caregiver interviews, analyzed by content analysis; Systematic observation, using an observation guide with 16 caregivers, analyzed by descriptive statistics.
the felt needs were related to information about instrumental support activities and subjective aspects of care. Caregivers presented more normative needs related to medications care.
understanding caregivers' needs allows nurses to plan interventions based on their particularities.
揭示巴西南部一家初级卫生服务机构中参与家庭护理项目的老年人的主要家庭照料者在提供工具性支持时所感受到的需求和规范性需求。
采用布拉德肖需求分类法来探究照料者所感受到的需求（陈述性需求）和规范性需求（由专业人员界定），分三个步骤进行了一项混合探索性研究：描述性定量阶段，对39名老年人及其照料者进行研究，使用基于患者记录的数据表；定性探索阶段，对21名照料者进行访谈，采用内容分析法进行分析；系统观察，使用针对16名照料者的观察指南，采用描述性统计进行分析。
所感受到的需求与工具性支持活动的信息以及护理的主观方面相关。照料者在药物护理方面呈现出更多的规范性需求。
了解照料者的需求有助于护士根据其特殊性来规划干预措施。
