This study was conducted during July-December, 2020 and divided into two phases: 1) the home visit nursing record form development and 2) the assessment of relevance and satisfaction of using the revised home visit nursing record form. The research tools consisted of: 1) the revised home visit nursing record form, yielding OIC of 0.90 and its manual, 2) the relevance appraisal form, and 3) the satisfaction appraisal form.
