“…The family members are greatly overlooked in the therapeutic relations (Badia et al., 2004). The family has an influence on the course of the disease, and this has an influence on the family (de la Revilla et al., 2007). And this is aside from the family being one of the main sources of support that must be taken care of at the level of health care.…”

Chronic diseases show a significant limitation on the quality of life and functional status, as patients as also their caregivers. The objective of this study is to analyse the quality of life of patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and stroke and their caregivers, and to find out if there is a relationship between the caregiver's overload and the quality of life of the patient, as well as to determine whether the functional status of the patients is related to the quality of life of the caregiver. Quantitative, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study, performed at Primary Health Care Centres of the northwest Area of Murcia Region (Spain), between January and May 2018, with 131 patients, 79 with stroke, 48 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (4 of them with both diseases), and 110 caregivers. The EuroQol scale, Zarit's questionnaire and Barthel's index and an ad hoc questionnaire of sociodemographic variables developed for this study were used.We found a positive and significant correlation between the scores of the caregiver's overload scale and those of the caregiver's health status (r = −0.425; p = 0.001), and a negative and also significant correlation between the overload and quality of life of the patients (r = −0.297; p = 0.002) and their inability (r = 0.189; p = 0.048). The more the overload we find the worse quality of life of the caregiver, but better quality of life of the patient. The physical inability of the patients also influences on the caregiver's level of overload, but not in his health status. Intervention programmes are needed to improve the quality of life of family members as they are the best patient support and the best help for healthcare professionals.

“…La atención de pacientes con problemas de salud crónicos a nivel domiciliario comporta dificultades de orden psicosocial, añadidas a las estrictamente biomédicas, que requieren el dominio de competencias no técnicas o transversales para poderlas afrontar adecuadamente, coincidiendo con los hallazgos de Revilla et al 15 . Sin embargo, los profesionales estudiados manifiestan que el sistema sanitario ni contempla ni evalúa suficientemente este tipo de competencias.…”

“…La complejidad de la atención a la cronicidad, por su parte y a tenor de las aportaciones de los profesionales estudiados, debe implicar también la integración de los componentes psicológicos y pedagógicos de toda relación entre profesionales y pacientes, desde una perspectiva biopsicosocial, considerando habilidades y actitudes 15,21 . …”

It is necessary to improve and secure the professionals relationships between levels of healthcare, continuity of healthcare, biopsychosocial model and holistic attention to patients and relatives, looking at emotions, expectations, feelings, beliefs and values. It is essential to design and implement continuing training in transferable skills in every healthcare centre, through active methodologies.

“…Among these variables are the resources the family has, as well as the capacity to mobilize and manage them, the stage of the life cycle in which the family finds itself, the cohesion among its members, the coping strategies that it is able to mobilize [3,8] as well as the experience of previous similar experiences [4,7]. There are also variables related to the type and beginning of the disease, expected results, and the level of dependence of the person who receives care [9]. The worsening of the functional level and the poor quality of life of the patient have a great impact on the family caregiver (FC) overload, not only because they require more time and requirements (physical, psychological, emotional, and economic) and also because family carers tend to have more concerns regarding meeting the needs and expectations of their sick relatives at the expense of their own needs, thus "forgetting themselves" [10].…”

Caregiving and Home Care

Huge demographic and socioeconomic changes are part of the experience of present societies. One consequence is the aging of the population and increasingly more people without the capacity for self-care. The provision of intergenerational care, namely caring for the older individuals, is a focus of attention for health professionals, but is also part of the political and social agenda. There is a need to regulate, support, and facilitate the daily life of families who have a dependent aged member. In contemporary societies, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) is an important driver of innovation, responsible for a large transformation of living standards and new social behaviors. Within the scope of the provision of informal care, ICT can provide a great support, representing a primordial tool for updating the organizations in order to improve their efficiency, incorporating and making available services, and anticipating needs. Thus, the development of equipment, electronic applications, and websites for the elderly or their family caregivers should be conceptualized and customized to the profile of these users. A major challenge faced by healthcare institutions is to focus their services by organizing them around citizens' needs.
