None. Qualitative-phenomenological study using semi-structured interview and coding with ATLAS-ti software. Triangulation analysis by two physiatrists and a psychologist. Two health institutions in Bogotá, Colombia. By sampling combined 20 caregivers were selected with disabilities for more than 6 months duration of different pathologies with mild to severe dependence and rehabilitation management. Not applicable. Changes in health and impact of rehabilitation. 3. All were family caregivers, mostly mothers. Most caregivers of children with severe disabilities had higher physical health disorders: low back pain more often, also headache and arthralgia which related to stress and long hours of care; many mentioned "physical fatigue" predominantly at night and sleep interruptions to take care of children during the night. Yet most had not received medical care. Men showed less physical alterations. All caregivers were emotional, experienced distress, depression, and anxiety often due to the lack of autonomy in their activities. Some mothers felt frustration at the lack of achievements and limitations of their children. Less than half had been referred to psychology but did not attend due to personal problems or because they considered it unnecessary. Some mothers expressed difficulty moving their children to the rehabilitation program which required more time and dedication altering their daily lives. Caregivers who had accepted the situation of children and those whose children had improved functionality considered rehabilitation decreased stress, but those who still had no expectations in line with reality felt dissatisfied. Caregivers had not received any formal training to care. Caring for a disabled child affects physical and emotional health of the caregiver and rehabilitation decreases stress and anxiety only in some of them. Intervention directed to the family and the caregiver to increase the positive impact of rehabilitation is required.
