Abstract

Objective: To identify the evidence of the use of the internet as a support tool aimed at the adolescent public in primary health care. Methods: This is an integrative literature review study, carried out via the PubMed Portal and Virtual Health Library (VHL). The following Boolean descriptors and operators were used in the PubMed portal: [Internet] AND [Teenager] AND [Primary health care]. In the VHL portal, the descriptors [Internet] AND [Teenager] AND [Primary health care] OR [Internet] AND [Adolescent] AND [Primary health care] were used. Original articles in Portuguese, English or Spanish from the last five years were included, with the intention of identifying the production of current knowledge about this theme. Results: The corpus was composed of nine studies and the analysis and synthesis of the data made it possible to group them into three thematic categories: Online interventions aimed at preventing diseases and promoting the health of adolescents; Tools adopted by the service to assist adolescents' mental health; and Internet use by adolescents as a source of health information. Final considerations: Technological means can significantly improve the adherence of adolescents in search of health services or provide virtual information of quality, also contributing to the bond between adolescents and health professionals.
