class="h4">Introduction

This article studies a case of Heidegger's phenomenology from a qualitativeperspective.

class="h4">Objective

To understand and explain the existence of the 鈥渂eing-carer鈥?and to find out whatthe multiple sclerosis diagnosis means for the relative who is told about the illness together with the patient.

class="h4">Method

A participant was selected by means of intentional sampling. An in depth interview was made on his experience with the multiple sclerosis diagnosis in order to get to know what the diagnosis means from his perception as the carer of a relative diagnosed with sclerosis.The conversation was recorded and transcribed. The analysis of the content is based on the Taylor-Bogdan Method for the discovery, coding and the relevance of data.

class="h4">Results

Three dimensions were explored: <em>a)em> the relative mimicked the image of the patient asif he were in front of a mirror (鈥渕irror image鈥?; <em>b)em> the response of the carer to his relative is similar to that of a 鈥減unch bag鈥?that takes all the hits while accompanying his patient in hisadaptation; <em>c)em> the search for his own identity in his cognitive and informative needs of a carer as a phenomenon which is becoming present with his experience of the diagnosis.

class="h4">Conclusions

The carer is not only a refl ection of the patient, but he begins to develop his own identity as a person in charge of providing care to his relative in an intuitive and selfl ess way. Professional nursing staff must understand that from the very moment of the diagnosis, there is a person that takes on the entity as a carer who must be recognized and given holistic and considerate care.
