- Abstract
Introduction: Health in local authorities is coordinated by the territorial health plans (PST, for its initials in Spanish) established in each municipality that supports the improvement of the health status of communities. Objective: To describe the perceived role of the nurse who coordinates the PST in Meta department, in 2012.Methods: Exploratory-descriptive study, a sample of eleven professional nursing coordinators determined by deliberate opinion-based qualitative sampling. It was used a semi structured interview, which was taped, transcribed and validated. As a tool for the process of analyzing the information we used content analysis that aims at interpreting the data gathered during the research, in search of the meanings and senses the research subjects perceive from their reality. Results: The data were grouped into five categories of analysis: the role of nurses, being a nurse, the nursing job, feelings and emotions in the exercise of the role and knowledge of the exercise of the role. The paper shows results of the category “The nursing job", which groups five central themes: the power of decision; the implementation of the administrative process; leadership; strategies using information, education, communication, and knowledge and use of theoretical models of nursing. Conclusion: The nurses perceive their work in coordinating the PST is related to the coordination of programs of health promotion and disease prevention, which strengthens the development of the profession.
