Abstract
Health care requires special continuity at the hospital-home discharge interface. The family caregiver is involved due to their intrinsic capacity to accompany the patient. For Institutions Providers of Health Services, it is essential to evaluate the participation of the nurse in the Accompanying Family Program. The objective is to describe the scientific evidence on the experiences of participation of the patient in the Accompanying Family Program. A descriptive analysis of 40 articles of a quantitative and qualitative nature, was carried out using databases: Pubmed, Scielo, Scopus, Medline and EBSCO; Selecting for analysis, articles published no more than 5 years ago. The transcendent aspects highlight that the nurse initiates the accompaniment of the family caregiver during the patient's hospitalization, through education prior to discharge, strengthens the caregiver's capacities for the patient's recovery, the personal growth of the caregiver and the professional nurse. The experience visualizes cost-effective nuances and projects opportunities, based on concrete mechanisms of articulation of education for care in hospitalization and at home.
