Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a Person-Centred Care (PCC) intervention can improve the caregiving experience and wellbeing of families who provide home care for a loved one with advanced chronic illness. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the PCC intervention improve families' caregiving experience, preparedness for caregiving, and psychological wellbeing?
* Is the PCC intervention feasible and acceptable for implementation in primary care settings?

Researchers will compare families who receive the PCC intervention in addition to usual care to families who receive usual care alone.

Participants will:

* Take part in an initial in-person consultation with a primary care nurse to share their family caregiving experience and co-create a personalized health plan.
* Have monthly follow-up contacts with the same nurse over a 3-month period to update and adapt the plan.
* Receive a copy of the updated plan after each contact to guide caregiving and support decision-making.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Person-centered care intervention

The intervention will be delivered by primary care nurses, in coordination with doctors, social workers, and psychologists from each center. Nurses, previously trained in person-centred care, will collect the family narrative regarding their experiences, needs, goals, and available resources. Based on this, a health plan will be co-created with the family, incorporating short- and long-term objectives, concrete actions, and the supports required. The plan will be reviewed and adapted in monthly follow-up consultations during a three-month period.
