摘要

in brazil, the clinical model has predominated in home care (hc). a psychosocial approach is necessary for problems identified in the home environment. the objectives of this paper were to present a psychosocial approach instrument for hc patients and their families and to describe the applicability of the psychosocial model using this instrument. the instrument was applied to hc patients and their families by home healthcare professionals who were participating in a hc course. we observed that it was feasible, although clinical reasoning took precedence over psychosocial reasoning. this instrument must be validated and new research must be carried out to qualify its use in teaching and hc.
