Abstract

Nurses in Primary Care are conquering space and structuring themselves along with the Family Health Strategy (FHS). This study has an exploratory, descriptive and qualitative approach, and its aim is to identify and analyze the perception that users of the FHS have on the nurses’ role. Data were collected through semi-directed form and they were categorized using the technique of content analysis proposed by Bardin. Themes that emerged after analysis: knowing the identity of the nurse, misunderstanding of the actual work of nurses, curative and individual assistance, and benevolent figure. The research supported the understanding of nursing work on the FHS users’ perception, characterized by individual and curative care, highlighting the need to redirect their work.
