Stress and Burnout Research

The COVID-19 pandemic has created new coordinates of action and social research, therefore, today there is a wide interest among social scientists to analyze some aspects of the crisis that at the social level caused it, therefore, we propose to argue from a cultural perspective the vulnerability and resilience of family caregivers in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Municipality of Guisa, Granma Province, Republic of Cuba. Family caregivers are considered a vulnerable group, while sociocultural situations associated with care persist, given the perception they present of feeling disconcerted, overloaded, trapped and excluded. However, they are able to successfully adapt to the stressful situation, as well as resist and overcome the situation to assist a dependent family member. This strength is related to culture and subjective values, which really determine their adaptation to risky circumstances and situations and allows them to face such situations with greater resilience and positivity. Keywords: vulnerability, resilience, family caregivers, COVID-19 pandemic.
