Abstract

The study aims to determine the profile of a high-frequency user of the hospital emergency department who made 299 visits in 3 years, analyzing the profile through the theoretical framework of the slave grandmother syndrome of Guijarro Morales.
We conclude from analysis of the demand profile (retrospective epidemiological study) and through semi-structured interviews (qualitative descriptive study) that the patient suffers from the slave grandmother syndrome. Finally we reflect on the social implications of the syndrome.
