Perception of the nursing student about house visiting

Abstract

Objective: To understand the perception of the nursing student about the home visit. Method: A descriptive method of qualitative approach, which used the technique of data collection with semi-structured interviews with 28 students from a university in the interior of the state of São Paulo, the data were submitted to Bardin content analysis. Results: In the face of this study, it is evident that the students recognize the visit as a powerful instrument of integral health care. However, most of the actions developed by the students have a strictly technical and biological approach, following the hegemonic biomedical health care model. Conclusion: Students can reflect on their practice and start planning their visits or teaching them to the integral care of the individual even when performed only to users suffering from pathologies, in order to avoid reductionist care focused only on the problem.
