Abstract
Introduction
Family members of palliative care patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) often experience emotional and communicational unpreparedness to relate to their loved ones at the end of life, representing a relevant demand for health education.
Objectives
To develop a digital educational resource, named Connect Paliativo, aimed at communicational guidance and preparation of family members of palliative care ICU patients, integrating educational content with a complementary video call feature.
