Abstract: The increase in average life expectancy has led to a rise in comorbidities and functional impairment, resulting in a growing number of older people in situations of dependency. In this context, the role of informal caregivers - family members - has become indispensable, requiring adequate support and an effective response to their needs. Considering self-care as a set of actions undertaken to preserve health, well-being and quality of life, it is essential to implement strategies that support not only the caregiver but also the family as a support network. Nursing, by working closely and collaboratively with families, promotes their empowerment, strengthens bonds and ensures more humanized care, contributing to the well-being of the older person, the caregiver and other family members.
