Abstract

This study aimed to seek scientific evidence regarding the identity of nursing care in professional practice in the
first decade of the XXI century. This is an integrative review in which were analyzed the abstracts of 335 scientific articles. There
was a prevalence of qualitative research articles (n=151;45.07%), undertaken in the hospital setting (n=176;52.5%), in the dimension
of the care (n=198;59.2%) and in the topic of adult’s health (n=107;31.94%). The attributes of the care identified were grouped into
three categories: Importance of the knowledge for putting the care into effect; Systematization of the care; and Humanized care
based on the relations and interactions. In the first decade of the XXI century, the identity of the nursing care was based on the
knowledge of the professional nurse, on the systematization of the nursing assistance, and on the humanization of the nursing care.
