Introduction: Home care aims to meet the health and social needs of people at home by providing quality home-based health care using balanced, affordable, and sustainable technology. Home care is challenging for nurses to carry out intensive and complex nursing activities. Objective: The aim is to identify what actions nurses take when implementing home care. Methods: The research method uses a systematic review of three scientific journal databases, namely ScienceDirect, ClinicalKey for Nursing, and Sage Journals. Article screening was adjusted to the inclusion criteria and used the PICO technique. Nine articles were reviewed. Results: There are six aspects of nursing actions in-home care services. Nurses provide health education, can collaborate with other professions, act client-centred, communicate effectively, act according to SOPs, and care involving the family. Conclusion: Nurses who intensively provide implementation services to home care clients must have a reference. At a minimum, nurses can apply six aspects of nursing actions in-home care services.
