title: [What role for the family carers of elderly people losing their autonomy?].
abstract: The qualitative analysis of the role of family carers shows that supporting a family member losing their autonomy not only involves providing physical assistance and care but also, increasingly, adopting a role of coordinator. These activities can be a source of stress or they can be rewarding, depending on the shared history of the carer-patient relationship.
