Abstract

Introduction: In the 1990s, sexually transmitted infections prevention activities for primary health care began. In the last two decades, there has been an increase in the assistance provided by nurses in the treatment of these infections. The Nusing Professional Practice Law No. 7.498/86 guarantees nurses in consultations the right to prescribe medication approved by institutional protocols. Objective: Identify whether nurses from the Primary Health Care Network in Florianopolis feel able to diagnose and prescribe medications for the treatment of sexually transmitted infections, based on the municipality's nursing protocols. Methods: exploratory-descriptive research with a qualitative approach, conducted through semi-structured interviews with trigger questions. 10 nurses with experience in primary care in the municipality were interviewed. The data were analyzed using the Bardin technique. Results: two analytical categories were identified: The nurse and the (re)construction of their professional practice and the nurse and their contribution to the quality of service in Primary Health Care. Conclusions: The Primary Health Care Network in Florianopolis is highly qualified, and nurses feel capable of adequately responding to the needs of their professional practices.
