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.
