Interventions

Family Support Program Based on a Nurse-Led Case Management Model OTHER

A Family Support Program Based on the Nurse-Led Case Management Model create for the care givers in the intervention group. Case management is the process of planning an individual's care, coordinating it, managing it, implementing it and reviewing it. The aim in case management is to improve a person's quality of life by coordinating health care services and providing these services at a reasonable cost and in a productive way. The use of case management requires the cooperation of professionals from many different disciplines. Therefore, in areas where case management is applied, the case manager coordinates an individual's or patient's care by enabling this cooperation. In this way, in areas where health services are provided, the case manager may be a doctor, a nurse, a physiotherapist, a social services expert, or a speech therapist.
