AB In a study on informal or unpaid care, it is difficult to identify the consequences and effects of care provision on the caregiver's daily life. Thus, it is important to analyze the perceptions of the individual caregiver. This study describes the perceptions of health, well-being, support networks, and quality of life of 13 women aged between 45 and 70 years after completing an intervention program. The data indicate that caregivers' health and quality of life worsen with the intervention, and their well-being and social relations (through new technologies) improve.
