Historias de vidas familiares frente al confinamiento por COVID 19.

Abstract

The research has been developed from the life history during confinement by the Covid 19 Pandemic, of six families with at least one member with a physical or intellectual disability. Systemic and Conflict theories were used, which have supported the qualitative research carried out, the objective of which was to know the influence that confinement by covid 19 has had on the functioning of families with members with disabilities. Among the most important results we can point out the forms of organization and the changes experienced by the families: both economically, as well as in their internal rules and family roles, as well as in the forms of care and expectations for the immediate future. The violation of the rights to health, mobilization, food, among others, was discovered, as these families experienced limited access to services and care required by people with disabilities. Another result was the identification of interpersonal support networks that sustained the weak actions of institutional networks that did not provide the necessary care during the crisis. Support policies and professional training must be strengthened to attend and prevent crises caused by disasters of all kinds.
