[The scientific nursing production about the clinic: an integrativa review]

The objective of this study was to learn about the production of nursing knowledge in Brazil associated with the clinic theme. This is a qualitative study performed by means of an integrative review. Data collection was performed on the SciELO database using the keywords nursing and clinic, present in the abstracts of articles. It was found that the clinic is seen as an instrument used to establish connections between research and nursing care, having a constant movement of constructing and deconstructing knowledge and practices. The study results may contribute with the production of research and knowledge in nursing, providing elements to subsidize improvements in nursing care, in which there is an interaction between practice and biological and non-biological knowledge.
