description Currently, home visiting is an essential instrument for the practice of primary health actions, especially lined with the Family Health Strategy. This descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach aims to identify and analyze how nurses perceive home visiting. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Two thematic unities were identified: the home visit as a possibility for creating links and the home visit as a possibility for integral assistance. Thus, the home visit as an instrument for health work processes – in particular in primary health attention – is a facilitating element for public health service users and also an integral way of attending them, in which the real needs of individuals and families can be identified.
