For nurse researchers interested in patient care and delivery systems, home health care is an area of increasing focus. Compared to institutional sites, however, there are challenges in conducting research in home health care that are a function of the organizational and operational environment. In addition to the unique environment, current regulatory and legislative changes also are having an impact on home health care nurses and agencies. Finally, home health care is an area that has not historically been involved with research of any kind. This article presents an overview of selected challenges of research in home health agencies and recommendations for nurse researchers.
