| Abstract | Due to the global aging phenomenon, the possibilities of three or more generations coexisting in the family has significantly increased. Thus, the bonds between grandparents and grandchildren have also become stronger. Brazilian literature already indicates the influence of the relationship and the presence of the third generation in the family in daily contexts, but only two studies actually address the situation of the grandchild’s disease. The aim of this study was to formulate a few considerations on the matter, grounded in recent literature that addresses the impact and experience of the grandchild’s disease on grandparents and their role when their grandchild is sick. From this, we design paths and perspectives for new Brazilian studies focusing on the grandparents when one of their grandchildren is sick. We believe it is important to advance in this area in order to promote the comprehensive care of children and family based on scientific evidence. |
