Analysis of public policies can be understood as
the analysis of those activities undertaken by a government
with the objective of intervening in a specified context or
social problem. The study object is to undertake a narrative
review, seeking to identify the concepts and methods used
for analysis of policies. The following were adopted as
descriptors: Health Policies, Public Health Policies, and
Formulation of Policies and Analysis, researched in the
following databases: International Literature on Health
Sciences, the Latin American and Caribbean Center on
Health Sciences Information, PubMed and the Base de
Dados de Enfermagem (Nursing Database). The study
was undertaken in June 2013 – March 2014. A total of 32
articles was eligible for the extraction of data, published
between 2008 and 2012. After application of the exclusion
criteria, 05 articles were analyzed, from which three
categories emerged: Conceptual Bases; Methodological
bases; and Challenges to nursing. The Policy cycle was
