Abstract

Objective: To analyze the concept of transition from care to home for people with diabetes mellitus from Rodgers' evolutionary perspective.

Method: This is a conceptual analysis based on Rodgers' evolutionary model. Data collection was carried out in October 2024, through online access to data sources using the Decs/Mesh/EMTREE descriptors: "Cuidado transicional/Transitional care/Home transition", "Diabetes Mellitus" and "Alta do paciente/Patient Discharge/Discharge Planning" connected by boolean operators AND e OR.

Results: After selection, 34 studies were included in the analysis. Essential characteristics of the transition of care to the home for people with diabetes and its significance were identified, contributing to a better understanding of the aspects that identify this care, the conditions for its occurrence, and its results.

Conclusion: The concept contributes to better identification of challenges for its implementation in clinical practice and post-discharge follow-up, aiming to improve coordination between levels of health care and safe longitudinal care.
