title: [How nurses evaluate home nursing and family caregivers].
abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the way used by nurses for evaluate the family care and the caregiver. The method used was a quali-quantitative one. A semi-structure interview was the instrument chosen to collect data. It was applied to 20 (twenty) nurses from a University Hospital within the months of April and May, 1996. Data analysis was based on the Bardin's Content Analysis Technique (1994). The results demonstrated that nurses are not systematic in evaluating family care and the caregiver, but they use their intuition, based on momentaneous decisions. This reveal a difficulty of integration between the formal and the informal care caused by lack of interaction or effective valorization of the family care process.
