- Abstract
Breast cancer is the malignant tumor that kills the most women worldwide, being considered a serious public health problem. This article investigates the actions of nurses working in Primary Health Care in the prevention of breast cancer in Campina Grande (PB). This is a descriptive-exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, carried out with 10 nurses who work in basic health units in that city, through semi-structured interviews. The collected data were analyzed through content analysis, with the help of the Atlas.ti software. Five categories emerged from their results: General knowledge about breast cancer; Professional training and health education for the population; Nurses' clinical approach to breast cancer prevention; Difficulties in prevention; Self-analysis of professional practice. Among these, the negative influence of the lack of training to adjust the nurses' actions to the national guidelines for the prevention of breast cancer in Primary Health Care was highlighted.
