Experimental: Immediate intervention
Immediately after enrollment in the project, caregivers and patients receive the intervention
|
The intervention consists of an interview about the caregiver's responses (baseline measurement) to a list about 'lack of information' within 13 areas.
For each area, the patient's nurse will enquire about what information is requested by the caregiver and the patient.
Subsequently, the nurse provides the requested information.
She may involve the doctor and arrange follow-up visits or phone calls until the need is covered
|

Sonstiges: Delayed intervention (3 weeks later)
