ABSTRACT
A Delphi-type expert consultation founded on the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness method was used to select variables related to older adults and environment characteristics perceived essential in assessing psychosocial needs and that could influence the social work workload in home care services. After two rounds of consultation, the 60 experts reached a consensus on 97 variables out of the 160 considered. A focus group made up of 10 experts identified tools that would allow us to measure the variables in a clinical context. Eighty-three percent of the variables selected could be measured with five instruments identified by the focus group experts.
