Abstract

The transition to family caregiver status is recognized as a complex transition process, which often represents an enormous challenge for the family caregiver who becomes the main agent of self-care for the person with dependence. It is therefore essential that the family caregiver be involved in the therapeutic process in order to be able to assume this role effectively. Thus, this Scoping Review aimed to identify contributions of the Therapeutic Communication in Nursing in the transition to Family-Career status. The research was carried out on the EBSCOhost platform, the scientific databases CINAHL Complete, Medline Complete, Nursing & Allied Health Collection: Comprehensive, and, MedicLatina; the scientific database PubMed; and, ProQuest (Unpublised). The main conclusion was that it is important to improve communication networks to empower the person and his/her family with knowledge and adaptive strategies in the face of adversity, and that in order to empower the caregiver-family it is essential to include them in the communication process.
