Objective: to identify possibilities for improvement in the process of teaching and learning homecare in nursing, pharmacy, medicine, nutrition, dentistry and occupational therapy courses. Method: qualitative research using the Grounded Theory approach. Sixty-three semi-structured interviews were conducted with students, teachers and graduates of the six mentioned courses at a public university in the south of Brazil. Data analysis was performed through open, axial and selective coding. Results: the possibilities for improving the process of teaching and learning homecare included: scientifi c production in the area; use of different teaching techniques; development of extracurricular activities; extension projects; curricular reformulation; and laboratory simulation. Final considerations: the strategies cited in this study enable undergraduate courses in health to envisage the possibility of enhance the process of teaching and learning homecare.

RESUMOObjetivo: apontar possibilidades de aprimoramento no processo de ensinar e aprender o cuidado domiciliar nos cursos de enfermagem, farmácia, medicina, nutrição, odontologia e terapia ocupacional. Método: pesquisa qualitativa, que utilizou a Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados como método. Foram realizadas 63 entrevistas semiestruturadas com discentes, docentes e egressos dos seis cursos mencionados de uma universidade pública do sul do país. A análise dos dados ocorreu por meio da codifi cação aberta, axial e seletiva. Resultados: destacam-se, entre as possibilidades de aprimoramento no processo de ensinar e aprender o cuidado domiciliar, a produção científi ca na área, utilização de diferentes técnicas de ensino, desenvolvimento de atividades extracurriculares, projetos de extensão, reformulação curricular e simulação em laboratório. Considerações fi nais: as estratégias citadas neste estudo permitem aos cursos de graduação em saúde vislumbrar a possibilidade de incorporar ou incrementar o processo de ensinar e aprender o CD.

“…The health field tends to disregard multidimensionality and fragment human beings into systems and organs 6 . The category Experiencing the unique nature of home care shows that home care involves innumerous particularities that should be observed by health practitioners, who possess unique skills that allow them to assess the home setting and subsequently orient patients and families about a range of situations, including safety issues 18 . Structural aspects are also assessed, since a home that is suitable for living and home care should protect it residents from the weather, be well ventilated, promote privacy and safety, and have quality public services such as piped water, sewage and electricity 19 .…”

“…Apart from the above observations, special care should be taken in the following circumstances: when patients and/or family members are coping with loss, death and mourning; resolution of ethical dilemmas; identification of spiritual needs; and stressful situations 20 . Home carers can also often face challenges associated with pets and messy and dirty houses 17,18 . Although university teaching usually fails to show the multidimensional nature of the human being 6 , the category Understanding the multidimensional characteristics of home care details the specificities of this aspect of care.…”

Background: The provision and use of telecare services implies new ways of working for home healthcare staff. To gain the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for sound telecare practice, staff are in need of thorough training opportunities. Simulation has been suggested as a useful approach to prepare healthcare professionals for providing telecare services. The aim of this study was to test and evaluate a simulation-based telecare training program for qualified healthcare professionals and explore whether it met intended training objectives from the perspective of the trainees. Methods: A total of 14 healthcare professionals working in home healthcare services participated in up to two training sessions, each across two separate days. Data were collected by way of four tape-recorded focus group interviews and field notes from non-participant observations of eight simulation sessions, and were analysed by way of systematic text condensation. Results: The analysis resulted in seven categories addressing trainees' experiences of partaking in simulated virtual visits; their perceptions of simulation-based telecare training; and their views on the main learning outcomes from the simulation-based training program in question. Conclusions: Simulation-based training provides trainees with realistic insight into the knowledge and skills required for new ways of working through telecare and can thus be a useful way of preparing healthcare professionals for the delivery of telecare services such as virtual home healthcare visits.
