Abstract

ABSTRACT: A project was developed targeting caregivers of patients with neurological sequelae and aiming their home

care qualification on clinic and surgical neurology at a teaching hospital. Qualification was carried out by nurses, nutritionists

and physical therapists. Methodology was patient and caregiver’s identification, team assessment, daily report, evaluation

and case report. The article describes such steps, with 12 patients along 2004, analyzing follow up and pointing out ways

for implementation. Among the project potentialities, it can be pointed out: access to patients and records; families’ and

patients’ security at discharge; collaboration at the units; access to bibliography, supplies and equipment. Among the

shortcomings, it can be mentioned: work overload; team’s organization and caregivers’ availability. The exercise of

professional autonomy was evidenced in the project although team harmony and working conditions are complex and

efforts are demanded in order to organize, implement and assess educational actions.

KEYWORDS: Caregivers; Chronic Disease; Multiprofessional team.
