Results: the study group is mostly in the 60-69 age range, women have a 2:1 relationship with men; unemployment involves the majority, their socioeconomic condition is negatively affected, they do not have the necessary resources for daily sustenance; there is dependence on their relatives to carry out self-care activities, which generates feelings of guilt when considering themselves "a burden for others".
