•Patients and caregivers initiating the Home Care (HC) programme launched by the Andalusian Healthcare Service and targeting some of the following population sub-groups:
•Sub-group 1: Terminally ill patients with advanced stage, progressive, incurable, multi-symptomatic disease with no reasonable chance of responding to specific treatment, with estimated survival not exceeding six months
•Sub-group 2: Dependent patients who require assistance for their daily activities (Activities of Daily Living [ADL]) and are immobilised at home, namely subjects not included in Sub-group 1 who, for whatever cause, are forced to spend most of their time in bed and/or require help to move, which prevents them from leaving home, except for rare exceptions
•Sub-group 3: Patients not included in Sub-groups 1 and 2, recently discharged from hospital, requiring home care during a short period of time, most likely for under two months
•Sub-group 4: Main caregivers for any of the patients described in the previous sub-groups

•1. Institutionalisation or change of residence to an area not covered by the study, thus preventing the minimum follow-up required
•2. Hospitalisation for longer than seven days, except for terminally ill patients who were readmitted for disease stabilisation and symptom control
•Note: With these criteria in mind, the population potentially requiring home care services in the healthcare districts under the scope of the study was estimated at 1,032,333. Malaga with 50.93% of the total potential population was in a position to contribute the largest number of subjects to the study, followed by the Costa del Sol district with 20.46%, Almeria with 20.60% and lastly Granada with 8.55%.
