title: [Description of a Multidimensional Health Program for Informal Caregivers].
abstract: The aim of this study is to describe the concept of a prevention program for informal caregivers and its fit into stress theory and quality criteria. The program combines a 4-day group intervention outside the home with individual professional care in familiar domestic surroundings (family health care for persons with high burden, home training for specific care aspects). The program applies strategies focusing on problems and emotions. The program can be financed by social security funds. The 4-day respite service closes a gap in health services for informal caregivers.
