Abstract
The institutionalization of the Unified Health System (SUS), by the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988, triggered an intense process of decentralization of policies, programs, projects, actions and health services, among them Primary Health Care (PHC).1 In 1994, the Brazilian Ministry of Health implemented the Family Health Program (FHP), as part of the scope of PHC universalization in the country. The FHP in its organicity required a minimum team composed of Nurse, General Practitioner, Nursing Assistant and Community Health Agents, based in a Health Center, with an attached health territory. With the qualitative advances of the indicators, the FHP in 1997 becomes policy, the Family Health Strategy (FHS).1–3 Since then, Nursing in PHA has experienced growth in its workforce, as well as the expansion and internalization of the labor market, public employment and community care practices for families.4 Thus, the study aims to analyze the scientific production on Nursing in PHA in Brazil.
