A prospective study was carried out in 10 physicians offices of "Armando García" polyclinics in Santiago de Cuba, with the aim of analyzing the bioethical aspects that the family physicians and nurses should take into consideration in the home care situation. The study covered from December 1995 to December 1996. The twenty-six patients who were provided home care were surveyed. The majority was composed by 61-80 y age group and under one-year olds. Home visits were paid at required frequency according to the priority given to the group and the disease. The survey made among the medical and nursing staff proved that only 36% of them has adequate level of knowledge on the bioethical aspects, knowledge acquired mainly from specialized literature, talks and conferences.
