Support needs of caregivers of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A qualitative study.

This study offers targets for the development of supportive interventions. A proactive approach seems essential, acknowledging the importance of the role of the caregivers in the care process at an early stage, informing them about the risk of burden, monitoring their wellbeing, and repeatedly offering support opportunities. Using e-health may help tailor interventions to the caregivers' support needs. PMID: 29397051 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
