Abstract(s)
The increase in the number of dependent individuals means that more and more
families find themselves in the situation of caregivers, with all the consequences that
performing this role entails. Based on this reality, we consider it to be completely
relevant to systematize knowledge in this area towards the develop of an educational
online support tool for caregivers.
We conducted a focus group with experts in this field to identify what appropriate
content an online caregiver support program should have. Our goal is to build an
online tool that works as a complement to the work of professionals and is safe for
carers.
The main results and conclusions, after we analyze the focus group incomes indicate
that the online support tool should contain topics that can be grouped into three
main themes: 1) caregiver knowledge and skills, 2) potential resources for the caregiver
and 3) caregiver coping strategies and well-being.
It was also possible to obtain important complementary information that will be very
useful in the construction of the online tool.
The relevance of this study to clinical practice is that, although it is still necessary to
expand and enhance the scope of research in this area, we consider this information
essential for all health professionals seeking to provide effective support to family
caregivers, as well as to serve as support for the development of intervention projects
and health services.
