Objective: to gain insight on the social representations of primary health care nurses about nursing care in the postpartum period.
Method: Qualitative study based on the Theory of Social Representations, conducted from September to October 2015, with 31 nurses of the Family
Health Strategy of the city of Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, through semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed with the aid of ALCESTE
software, which conducts lexical analysis of text data. Results: It was found that the care provided by nurses prioritizes childcare appointments (care
to the newborn) to the detriment of postpartum appointments. Conclusion: Nurses should develop integral postpartum care, which goes beyond the
implementation of technical procedures, involving qualified listening and care to the biopsychosocial needs of postpartum women.
