Family Burden Sample Clauses

Family Burden. Trichiasis was a cause of burden on the family of patients. For example, in Niger, children often share in the household work; however, one patient’s mother recalled, I didn’t even make her work. I saw children go to the well, but me, I didn’t send her. When I saw her eyes, I told myself, ‘I won’t make her do any work. She won’t do any work for me. Even to go sell something, I won’t send her’ (Friend of Operated Woman, 20, Tessaoua). After a woman is married, she becomes part of her husband’s family, and it is up to his family to take care of her. One unoperated patient stated that during a period of illness, her own mother had to take the unusual step of coming to care for her. Men in households with trichiasis patients were affected in two main ways. First, since women were often unable to perform household and farm work to support the well-being of their families, at times, it was men who took over these duties. One woman said that it was her husband who did the cooking and laundry in the household; this was validated by male focus group members who stated that they had had to cook, clean or perform other domestic chores when women were ill. As one focus group indicated, these duties are almost exclusively performed by women and girls in the domestic setting in Niger, and a man doing these duties may be made fun of or lose respect unless doing them as paid employment. Second, men were affected financially. Many of the focus group discussions revolved around products purchased to help ease patients’ pain, as well as specific sums of money that had been spent in search of a cure for them.
