Actions and interactions in clinical nursing practice in Primary Health Care

Abstract

Objective: Understanding the actions and interactions required for developing clinical nursing practice in Primary Health Care. Method: A qualitative study anchored in the Grounded Theory. Data was collected between April and October 2016 with nurses divided into two sample groups. Results: Eighteen (18) nurses participated in the study. The category “Recognizing the Systematization of Nursing Care as an essential element for clinical nursing practice” supports the “actions-interactions” component and it is composed of two subcategories: “Accomplishing clinical practice in nursing consultations”, which presents the challenges encountered in performing clinical practice; and “Highlighting management tools for evidence-based clinical practice”, which operates through strategies in response to the studied phenomenon. Conclusion: Care actions developed in clinical nursing practice are highlighted by the systematization of care in nursing consultations, a moment of direct interaction with the individual, thus contributing to improvement in the quality of care provided.
