    Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of home visits by nurses in the quality of life of older adults. Materials and Methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review. Home visits are an essential component of evidence-based nursing due to their rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions in clinical practice. The search was restricted to articles with full text, and selected articles were critically read using the GRADE system to assign the strength of recommendation. Results: Ten articles were selected, with 40% from Spain, 20% from Chile, 20% from Brazil, and 10% from Mexico and Canada, respectively. Most of the studies were systematic reviews, with 40% from Spain, Chile, and Canada. Among the controlled clinical trials, 20% were from Mexico and Spain. Case-control studies accounted for 30%, from Brazil and Spain, and one cohort study from Brazil. Of the total articles analyzed, 80% affirmed the effectiveness of home visits. Conclusions: The reviewed studies provide evidence that nursing home visits effectively improve the quality of life of older adults.
