The needs of family caregivers providing palliative home care in Portugal: a multi-stage mixed methods study protocol
The project will enrich community PC while optimizing social welfare activities. By identifying the unmet requirements of FCs of PC patients, the initiative will enhance the QoL and well-being of the care recipients, respecting their preferences, while improving the health and competence of FCs, and minimizing the consumption of hospital resources. Lastly, FC engagement should be coordinated and sustainably executed through the participation of relevant all stakeholders.
