Abstract
Objective: Describe the perception of adolescents about the consultation of Nursing in Primary Health Care. Methods: Descriptive exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, carried out in a Basic Health Unit in a municipality in Pernambuco. 10 female adolescents were interviewed. Data collection was performed from a semi-structured interview script. Thematic content analysis proposed by Bardin was used for data analysis, where thematic categories emerged. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: The adolescents consider the nursing consultation as an important means of clarification and health guidelines, allowing the creation of a bond of trust between the nurse and the adolescent. However, a lack of internal and external activities and actions was identified in the context of Primary Care for this target audience. Conclusion: It is emphasized the need for further studies related to this theme, with the objective of increasingly understanding the needs of adolescents and finding effective methods that allow modifying the scenario of adolescent health in Brazil.
