ABSTRACT
Objective: to describe the social networks of caregivers of children with Down Syndrome and the type of support they received. Method: in this qualitative, descriptive study, framed by Sanicola's methodology, interviews were analyzed using Bardin content analysis. The research protocol was approved by the research ethics committee. Results: the social networks of the caregivers interviewed were predominantly small, not very dense, and featured strong relationships with family and friends. From analysis of the interviews, three categories were identified: emotional support from the family; emotional and financial support from friends; and dissatisfaction with the health service. Final remarks: it is necessary that health personnel, particularly nurses, address the subject in order to discover the relationships and how they are established, so as to strengthen bonds and carry out interventions to improve quality of life for caregivers of children with Down Syndrome.
