Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the Central Nervous System (CNS) that is characterized by a condition that results in a significant decrease in dopamine, a neurotransmitter crucial for the control of movement and coordination. This disease does not evolve homogeneously for all people who suffer from it, and several factors can influence its course. Although there are various treatments focused on people who suffer from this disease, sometimes the people who are in charge of their care do not receive the necessary attention. Given that this is a disease with a progressive course and many of these patients are at home, often cared for by a close person, it is considered necessary to carry out a personalized intervention for these informal caregivers. This intervention proposal consists of seven sessions designed to support informal caregivers of people with Parkinson's in the final stages. The first session seeks to increase participants' empathy towards people with Parkinson's. In the second session we focus on recognizing and understanding the emotions of both patients and caregivers, in addition to sharing experiences and coping strategies. The third session highlights the importance of non-verbal communication to create a supportive environment. The fourth session emphasizes that all emotions are valid and must be accepted. The fifth session focuses on the importance of self-care for caregivers, highlighting that taking time for oneself is essential for physical and mental health. The last two sessions address the grieving process, emphasizing that each person experiences it uniquely. In conclusion, the crucial role of non-professional caregivers, generally family members and mainly women, is highlighted in the care of people with Parkinson's, and an attempt is made to reduce the deterioration in quality of life associated with care.
