OBJECTIVES: To investigate formal carers’ training needs from 4 European countries participating in the i-Care project (Greece, France, Italy and Cyprus), with regard to their basic and soft skills, by reporting self-competency evaluation, as well as the perspective of the patients regarding their own carers’ competence.

METHODS: The study sample was composed of formal caregivers (nurses, health care assistants and social workers) and patients from the 4 i-Care partner countries. Two questionnaires were developed, one to assess carers’ training needs regarding basic and soft skills and one to be completed by the patients assessing their carers’ needs.
