These biopsychosocial factors become significant when the child receives care at home. This article presents and evaluates a highly personalized support project offered to 40 Sicilian families, consisting of educational, social, and psychological services delivered at the families homes and in their communities. Guided by the Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT) and the Functional Psychology framework, the project employed a family-focused approach to healthcare and was based on a continuous dialogue between all stakeholders. The project was evaluated through a qualitative interview with eight families in the Palermo area, which was analyzed using consensual qualitative research. Results revealed families\u2019 appreciation of the project and the importance of a professional who listened to their needs, provided a connection with the medical team, and tailored activities inside and outside the home. The ability of professionals to listen and adapt activities to different contexts and needs was crucial for the project\u2019s success. We conclude that creating tailored family-level interventions with an educator acting as a liaison with the medical team is a widely acceptable strategy that should be further developed and investigated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5334\/cie.100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,5]],"date-time":"2024-01-05T10:31:03Z","timestamp":1704450663000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Tailored Psychoeducational Home Interventions for Children with a Chronic Illness: Families&amp;rsquo;
