This study aimed at identifying how the specific characteristics of home healthcare are dealt with during nursing professional training. It is a qualitative research using Grounded Theory. Five professors and eight undergraduate students at a state university in the South of Brazil were interviewed. Data was analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding. Results allowed researchers to identify the characteristics of this type of care and its teaching approaches. Professional performance at home is different and the peculiarities of this type of care should be dealt with in nursing undergraduate courses.
