- Abstract
Objective: to know the perception of health workers performing as nurses on a pre-hospital care service. Method: descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach, which was carried out on a Prehospital private assistance in the northwest of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The participants were doctors, nurses and nursing technicians. Data collection was conducted in February and March 2016, through semi-structured interview. The analysis followed the assumptions of a so called Content Analysis. Results: The nurses develop managerial and assistance activities requiring technical and scientific knowledge, skills, and teamwork. Autonomy, good relationship and scientific knowledge were identified as factors that facilitate the job. However, lack of knowledge, relationship difficulties and bad weather are factors that hinder the work. Conclusions: The nurse is a very important front for the team, when performing their duties with suitable skills and great knowledge.
