Abstract

This study aimed to check the importance attributed to the use of the nursing process by nurses and to identify the main difficulties found. The study was qualitative and descriptive, and was undertaken in 2011 in a hospital in Fortaleza-Ceará, with 9 nurses, and data collection was carried out through non-structured interviews. Based on analysis of the results, three categories were produced: Importance of the use of the Nursing Process during assistance to clients; Use of the stages of the process during nursing care and Difficulties found by the nurses in using the Nursing Process. It is concluded that in spite of the nurses’ considering the systematization of care an instrument for their training, they mention dissociation of its stages, inadequate knowledge, and inadequate staff numbers as difficulties in applying it.
