Função gerencial do enfermeiro na atenção primária à saúde: revisão integrativa.

Abstract

Objective: to describe the scientific production about the work process of the nurse who performs managerial functions in basic care. Method: an integrative literature review was developed with the following guiding question: What are the specificities of the work process of primary care nurses in their managerial role? A survey was carried out using the VHL search system in the databases BDENF, LILACS, and SciELO, resulting in 14 articles selected. Results and Discussion: The literature showed that the nurse who performs the managerial function is conditioned to insufficient professional training, vertical organizational cultures and other situations that challenge their autonomy and professional identity. Conclusion: It is necessary to invest in professional training aimed at the development of managerial skills and abilities, in addition to changing the predominant management models.
