When talking about a chronic health condition, the focus is usually on the patient, ignoring the realities and needs of the caregiver. This lack of visibility prevents this role from being valued, so it is necessary for the caregiver to reflect independently on the environment in which they find themselves, the dynamics with the person being cared for, and the support networks they have, in order to identify in time, the challenges and facilitators that influence the care process. By becoming aware of the characteristics of the health condition of the person receiving care and the particularities of their role, they will be able to value the work they perform and thus more easily face the realities of caregiving. The topics to be covered include: 鈼廋aregiver context. 鈼廋aregiving context. 鈼廇cute and chronic health conditions. 鈼廌ifference between acute and chronic health conditions.

Most people have performed care work for others at some point in their lives; however, whenit comes to caring for patients with chronic health conditions, it is necessary to be clear aboutthe role to be assumed as it suggests emotional and physical support that provides well-beingto the individual being cared for, but without losing sight of one's own quality of life.Therefore, it is important to know what types of caregivers there are, in order to positiononeself in the corresponding one and identify who can support this task.Being able to adopt the role of caregiver is not acquired immediately; it requires a continuousprocess of adaptation to the new reality, in order to redefine identity and purpose, for whichthe caregiver will go through some planned phases that will help him/her gain sufficientconfidence in his/her new role. The topics to be covered include: 鈼廡ypes of caregivers. 鈼廋aregiver role. 鈼廡ransition to the caregiver role. The skills we aim to strengthen include: 鈼廋ritical thinking. 鈼廇nalysis capacity. 鈼廋aregiving management.

The topics to be covered include: 鈼廡ransition to the Caregiver Role and Response Patterns. 鈼廟esponse patterns arising from the transition to the caregiver role. 鈼廋ognitive and instrumental skills and their impact on the caregiving role.

When a caregiver experiences constant episodes of loneliness, depression, and anxiety, it is very likely that overload will arise and from there the impact on their physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and economic health. It is therefore necessary to identify the relevant strategies to address it and prevent the caregiver from becoming a patient with a hidden chronic disease.However, the impact generated by care is not always negative. After going through the phase of role organization; strengthening cognitive and instrumental skills and having a support network whom to delegate tasks to, it is possible for the caregiver to direct their life project, based on the lessons learned. The topics to be covered include: 鈼廜verload and quality of life of the caregiver. 鈼廎actors that can influence the caregiver's overload and quality of life. 鈼廐ealthy and unhealthy effects of caregiving. 鈼廘evels of the caregiver's role.
