Nursing practice in home care: the mediation of care by reflexivity

“…Regardless of its potentiality, HC poses challenges to health workers, considering the need to understand the uniqueness of the space in which they work, which encompasses the economic, social and emotional aspects of the user and his/her family; available resources; social support network; hygiene and safety of the house; as well as the entire environment around the patient and the patient's family (1,7) . In the context of training, studies indicate that nurses are not prepared to deal with HC's particularities (3,(8)(9)(10) . Even when they have it, academic formation related to HC tends to be punctual in face of the complexity of practicing domestic care (8)(9)(10) .…”

Educational practices for families of children and adolescents using a permanent venous catheter

“…Simulation as an educational practice is a valuable teaching method when technologies and approaches that faithfully represent the real environment are used; when there are public preparation and orientation for activities, familiarization with dummies and equipment for example; adequate training of professionals who will accompany the simulation; technological instruments, such as the use of mannequins. After training, there should be room for discussion among the group to promote critical reflection on practice, self-assessment, and feedback of experience (34) .…”

Standards of Knowledge That Found Nursing Performance in Home Care

“…Studies indicate the invisibility of the context of HC in the training processes of nurses, 2,8 not being prepared to work in HC, with regard to its particularities. 2,8,12 Qualifications and sharing knowledge and experiences are necessary and the search for information aimed at understanding the particularities of HC. 13 In HC, socio-political knowledge represents how and when to act in the context of care.…”

“…4,7,9,11 The lack of academic training of nurses working in HC is reinforced, reflecting a lack of knowledge which in turn affects home care. 9,12 Concerning the work of nurses in HC, specific knowledge is required regarding the provision of care [8][9]13 , especially in relation to therapeutic projects, interpersonal relationships with users, family members and the multidisciplinary team, as well as technical and scientific knowledge specific to the field. 8 It is necessary to recognize the peculiarity of the environment and, from that, plan, structure, implement and coordinate care actions effectively for the benefit of the user and their family members.…”
