Descripción
Sumario:In this paper we analyze the care practices provided to people with disabilities, users of the Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación Psicofísica del Sur Dr. Juan O. Tesone (National Institute of Psychophysical Rehabilitation of the South). We analyze them from a situated perspective, in the key of complexity, questioning them as activities in the public sphere, not only reserved to the private-family space. They are mostly carried out by women in the family nucleus -a role historically naturalized and invisibilized- whose framework requires intersectorial views, also problematizing the responsibility of the whole society and the State. We invite to denaturalize caregiving as a women’s role, taking into account that people with disabilities require complex and long-standing care. We conducted a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the care practices of the population receiving care in this institute under the modalities of hospitalization and rehabilitation at home. We consider it necessary to reflect on the role of rehabilitation health team professionals, society and the State in order to make the care system a fully effective right.
