Sorge und Sorgekonflikte in der ambulanten Pflege

Faced with a variety of conflicts relating to concern and care, caregivers often find themselves in a difficult situation. On the basis of episodic interviews with nurses, which focus on caring for people living alone with dementia, this study develops a theory on caregivers feeling torn between personal involvement and reification, and elaborates it in a typology of interpretation patterns, thus combining grounded theory methodology and critical theory. Since the conditions of professional care are permeated by reification and humiliation, individual attempts to solve the problem have remained unsuccessful. Solving these problems can only succeed in society as a whole.
