Abstract

Objective: Identify the main nursing interventions to support family caregivers. Methods: This is an integrative review, carried out on the databases: SciELO, Scopus, NIH-PUBMED and Web of Science. The following descriptors from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) were used: "care", "home care", "family caregivers" and "nursing". After the search process, 844 articles were retrieved, so that only 13 met the inclusion criteria, making up the final sample. Results: Regarding the methodological design, most used the randomized clinical trial (n: 09), with a predominance of evidence level II. The studies presented intervention components, so that some presented mixed interventions: practical support when caring (n: 09); needs assessment (n: 05) and; psychoeducation (n: 04). Conclusion: It was found that the observed interventions had positive effects among family caregivers, suggesting that nursing has an important role in supporting these individuals.
