Abstract

Objective: to analyze the coping and adaptation process's relationship with the quality of life and satisfaction of primary caregivers through the application and integration of Orem's and Roy's theories. Methodology: a concomitant mixed triangulation-type study was carried out at the Chiqui Gómez Lubián Polyclinic in Santa Clara municipality, Cuba, from 2016 to 2019. The population was 21 primary caregivers of infants with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder—the data collected with two self-administered scales and an in-depth interview. The scales were processed with the statistical program for the social sciences SPSS version 24.0 and the interview through thematic content analysis. Results: a medium level of coping and adaptation capacity and quality of life and satisfaction of primary caregivers were obtained, about adaptive modes, in addition to getting a proposal for the definition of quality of life in primary caregivers, based on their relationship with the coping and adaptation process. Conclusions: the theoretical references were the ideal support for the analysis since it based on the integration of Roy's adaptation model and the educational support system of Orem's Self-Care Theory, which facilitated the understanding of the relationship between the affected dimensions of quality of life and satisfaction of primary caregivers, such as adaptive self-care needs and adaptive modes, in the process of coping and adaptation, during the act of caring.
