Quality of Life and Well-being Impact.
  • Number and average needs of patients in the initial and final assessment.

  • Number and average of satisfied needs of patients.

For the application of the RedCuida protocol, the Barthel scale [22] and Lawton and Brody [23] were used and 7 types of emotional and support needs were added [20] to learn about the need for help in each activity and if this need was being met or not met by some member of the community. For each type of activity, the following was collected:
  • You do not need (you do not require) help from the community to conduct the activity.

  • Satisfied:
    • YES: When a member of the community helps you in the development of the activity and the profile of the person who meets the need is identified. To score this field, the need must be 100% satisfied by the community member(s). To evaluate this field, the promoter makes the assessment, whenever possible, with the main caregiver, taking into account, in case of overload, what kind of help is needed, and recording said needs as “unsatisfied” when it is necessary to incorporate people from the network for your complete satisfaction.
    • NO: When you need help, you do not have any member of the community, or those you have do not reach 100% of the help required in the development of such an activity, either because your needs are greater or because the person covering them is overloaded and needs help. In this case, unsatisfied must always be marked and it will be part of the intervention process to identify another member of the network who satisfies it.
