Objective: To perform an integrative literature review to give subsidies to elaborate attendance protocol for people with venous ulcers in primary health care. Method: An integrative review, carried out between August and September 2012, in the virtual health library, pages of Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, of Municipal Health secretariat and international guidelines of associations. Results: 15 publications were included, in the period from 2004 to 2011, 9 focused specifically on venous ulcer, 8 did not specify the level of assistance, 9 are multiprofessionals and 2 emphasize quality of life. Based upon the studies it was verified that the categories about structuring the protocol are sociodemographics, anamnesis, risk factors, exams, verification, characteristics and injury care, medications, pain, general care and compression therapy, prevention and referral/counter-referral. Conclusion: The results may subsidize the construction of protocols for people with venous ulcers treated in primary health care supported in the aspects of literature.
