| Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) of caregivers and carers | Anxiety-depressive symptomatology of caregivers will be assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) in the event of patient death, if this occurs within one year of discharge from hospital. The HAD scale is a screening instrument for anxiety and depressive disorders. It comprises 14 items rated from 0 to 3. Seven questions relate to anxiety (total A) and seven to depression (total D), giving two scores (maximum score for each = 21). To screen for anxiety and depressive symptoms, the following interpretation can be proposed for each of the scores (A and D) each of the scores (A and D):

| Questionnaire to evaluate the acceptability of the intervention | The acceptability of the intervention will be assessed by a questionnaire after each home visit at 7 days and one month, with patients and caregivers in the intervention group. | 12 months |
| EQ-5D-3L scale score | Changes in the quality of life of patients and caregivers one month after hospital discharge will be measured by changes in the EQ-5D-3L scale score. EQ-5D is a standardised measure of health-related quality of life.n EQ-5D-3L, the five dimensions each have three response levels of severity. Respondents are asked to choose the statement in each dimension that best describes their health status on the day they are surveyed. Their responses are coded as a number (1, 2, or 3) that corresponds to the respective level of severity: 1 indicates no problems, 2 some problems, and 3 extreme problems. In this way, a person's health state profile can be defined by a 5-digit number, ranging from 11111 (having no problems in any of the dimensions) to 33333 (having extreme problems in all the dimensions). | 12 months |
