Objectives:
to understand the meaning of continuity of care for children with chronic conditions through transitional care from hospital to home.
Methods:
this is a qualitative study, conducted from a Constructivist Grounded Theory perspective. Purposive and theoretical sampling were used to recruit 35 participants, including nurses, professionals from the interprofessional hospital team, and actors responsible for healthcare in the home context. The research was conducted at two large hospitals, between March and September 2019. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data analysis was carried out using initial and focused coding, according to constructivist grounded theory.
Results:
the substantive theory that emerged from this study was named “Postponing the next hospitalization”. Eight categories-concepts and 18 elements were derived from the data to support the substantive theory.
Final Considerations:
transitional care from hospital to home acts as a reminder for the resumption of continuity of care after discharge.

Objective:
To report the experience of design and implementation of the Help2Care (an ehealth program that aims to support informal caregivers of dependent people); and to identify its structure and functionality.
Methods:
This is a Portuguese experience report about Help2Care, a practice-based action research project carried out between 2017 and 2019, having as a guiding axis Florence Nightingale’s concepts about the relevance of the home-care environment.
Results:
The Help2Care program revealed itself to be a valuable support tool for providing better healthcare learning, counselling, and assistance of the informal caregivers of dependent people. Different ehealth strategies were used to empower caregivers in self-care in order to have a safe transition between contexts of care at the time of patient discharge.
Conclusion:
Help2Care allows to inspire other ways of providing care, as well as a reduction in the readmission rate in health organizations for patients who reveal poor care support in home environments.

Objective:
To define the criteria for the continuity of care to elderly people submitted to arthroplasty.
Method:
This is a qualitative study, inserted in the constructivist paradigm, whose methodological option fell on research-action. The participants were the health professionals of an orthopedic service and of the community care teams in the area of the hospital.
Results:
The different techniques allowed us to identify the difficulties in the safe transition from the hospital to the community. At this level, two categories of criteria for continuity of care emerged: criteria associated with the risk of ineffective management of the therapeutic regimen, and criteria associated with the knowledge and level of competence of the informal caregiver.
Final Considerations:
An elderly person undergoing arthroplasty (hip or knee) has functional alterations that affect their capacity for self-care and may lead to dependence, our findings allowed the design of an algorithm to facilitate clinical decision making and promote a safe hospital-community transition.
