HOME VISIT: CARE TECHNOLOGY USED BY NURSES TO ADVOCATE FOR CHILD'S HEALTH

This study aimed to identify elements of care designed to protect children during home visits, from narratives of nurses, from the perspective of care and advocacy for the right to health of children. This is an exploratory study using qualitative thematic analysis, based on conceptual aspects of care and the right to health, from interviews with 14 nurses working in the Family Health Strategy. The narratives about the actions of nurses in home visits show protective measures of child health, organized into themes: observation and intervention for child care at home; arrest of situations of rights violation; child vulnerabilities with parental users of alcohol and other drugs. The home visit proved to be a fundamental tool for clinical practice in primary health care, constituting a privileged space for the nursing care of the child, and a family context for child health advocacy.
