Health and Social theorists are lately promoting Home Health Care. As a not yet structured field, Home care could be a chance for nursing profession to check the costituent points in the light of the new demands. In spite of the difference between home and hospital setting, the new Italian university basic training doesn't cover community subjects. Analyzing also how the nursing metapardigm realizes itself in home and hospital, the author will demonstrate that home care could be the way to implement nurses theories and principles (self-care; person centered care; empowerment) more directly, freely, completely.
