Gratitude intervention
"The intervention will be proposed to both the patient and the caregiver and consists of two steps: the gratitude letter and the gratitude visit. In the gratitude letter, the individual writes about his feelings of gratitude through a letter, based on a written instruction. The gratitude visit consists of an extension of the gratitude letter where the writer of the letter (i) either personally reads the letter to the beneficent or (ii) gives it to him and asks him to read it in his presence or later in his absence."
