The number of people in need of nursing care in Germany is continuously increasing. As a result of problems with the foreign language and a lack of information, there are obstacles especially for people with a migrational background toward the use of professional help and offers for people in need of care. This report describes the saba study. We used the method of storytelling as a self-help oriented intervention strategy within the group of Turkish persons in need of care and their relatives who provide care. Health mediators facilitated weekly group meetings of Turkish family caregivers. During these meetings, the family caregivers talked to each other about their experiences. By sharing their stories, they increased their knowledge and information. The intervention encourages empowerment and self-management of Turkish people in need of care and their family caregivers. The study helps Turkish persons in need of care and their family caregivers to obtain knowledge and lower the barriers for access to the German Healthcare System.
