I. INTRODUCTION
1. Context and Significance
- Briefly introduce the global and regional shift toward home-based care.
- Emphasize the rising need for quality caregiving as patients are often elderly, chronically ill, or functionally dependent.
- Explain the vital role of family caregivers
2. The Importance of Caregiver–Nurse Trust
- Define trust in healthcare relationships, with a focus on caregiver–nurse trust

3. Quality of Life as a Critical Outcome in Home Care
- Define Quality of Life (QoL) per WHO
- Emphasize its relevance not only for patients but also for evaluating the success of home care services
4. Gap in Literature
- Limited research examines the link between caregiver-nurse trust and patient QoL
- Most studies focus on patient-provider trust, not proxy (caregiver) perceptions
- Lack of studies using validated tools (e.g., Patient-Nurse Trust Scale and WHOQOL-BREF Arabic version) in home care contexts
Standardized Instruments
- A brief overview of:
- Patient-Nurse Trust Scale (origin, reliability, use in other settings)
- WHOQOL-BREF Arabic version (validity, structure, domains)
- Justify their use in caregiver-reported data
IV. Summary & Research Gaps
- Recap the need for caregiver-centered studies on trust
- Emphasize your study’s contribution to filling a geographic, linguistic, and conceptual gap
