Caution in home care: effects of an educational health intervention

Abstract

Home care services contribute to the reduction of hospital burden, deinstitutionalization, humanization and comprehensive care. Therefore, the professional improvement of the teams of home care services is extremely relevant, since the work moves from health institutions to the private life of the user, requiring detachment from traditional practices and understanding of home relationships. In this sense, a qualitative research was conducted in Recife, Brazil, from December 2018 to April 2019, which aimed to understand how different subjects (n = 14) perceive and interpret the effects of training offered to teams from the care services home based in the city, using conceptual elements described by Abbad about training evaluation. The findings demonstrate that there was a positive perception of the subjects about the effects of training, but also indicate that there were few changes in services, mainly due to the lack of multiplication of the knowledge acquired for the professionals who were not trained and the insufficient psychosocial support to the application. practice of the contents. The issues raised in this study demonstrate the complexity of home care in Brazil and the need to formulate educational and organizational strategies that enhance care within the home.
