Abstract
Objective: Identify the reasons why nursing professionals in Primary Health Care (PHC) don’t apply the Nursing Process (NP) properly. Methods: It is an integrative literature review that aimed to analyze the factors that interfere in the execution of NP. For the study, were used articles published from 2016 to 2020, collected in BVS, which cover data base such as LILACS, MEDLINE, SCIELO and BDENF, that were in Portuguese language and available electronically in full. After searches in selected databases and attending the descriptors and criteria predefined by the authors, were selected 15 articles for the final sample. Results: The most frequent difficulties were the following: lack of training to apply the NP (30,7%), overwork (26,8%), lack of physical spaces to carry out the nursing consultation (11,4%) and depreciation of the professional nurse (7,7%). The results of this article evidenced several aspects that hinder the application of NP by nurses in PHC. Final considerations: Given this information, it is possible to devise plans and strategies to solve such adversities, in order to encourage the use of this very important tool for the scientific development of the profession.
