Home Health Nursing

Overview

Home health nursing is a field of nursing in which care is provided to patients in their own homes rather than in a hospital or clinic. Home health nurses deliver a range of services, including assessment and monitoring of health status, administration of medications and treatments, wound care, patient and family education, and support for managing chronic illness, recovery, and disability. By bringing skilled nursing care into the home, this practice supports patient independence, continuity of care, and recovery in a familiar environment, often coordinating with physicians, therapists, and family caregivers. Within Clinical and Practical Nursing, home health nursing reflects broader principles of patient-centered care and the application of nursing theory and teamwork across settings. Research in this subject area addresses approaches to nursing practice, the frameworks that guide care, and the collaboration between nurses and other care personnel that supports effective delivery of services. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to home health nursing and the practice of delivering skilled nursing care across diverse care settings.
