Objectives:
to understand the perception of Primary Health Care nurses about the application of the Nursing Process.
Methods:
this is a qualitative, descriptive study. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with Primary Health Care nurses from a city in the interior of the state of São Paulo, analyzed by Content Analysis under the theoretical framework of Work Process.
Results:
three categories were obtained: Extrinsic factors to the Nursing Process; Intrinsic factors to the Nursing Process; and Knowledge.
Final Considerations:
the nurses considered the Nursing Process relevant for the profession, but historical, political, and social issues related to nursing, and health, as well as conflicts regarding its concept and academic training, hinder its application.
