Abstract

The 1988 Federal Constitution, article 200, section III, gives to the Unified Health System (SUS) the authority to order the training of human resources in healthcare (BRAZIL, 1988), on this the Ministry of Health announced in 2004 Ordinance No. 198 / GM, which establishedthe National Policy on Education Permanent Health (PNEPS) as SUS strategy for training and workforce development for the sector (BRAZIL, 2004). Therefore, the present work aimed to, through integrative literature through electronic bibliographic material, identify whether continuing healthcare education is already incorporated into the daily lives of nurses in primary care and that the concept of education constant is used. After ten years of presenting PNEPS, confusion of concepts are still found about permanent education and continuing education , and some authors consider the two common terms, while others point to strikingdifferences in meaning between them. In the articles analyzed, nurses and other primary care professionals report their experiences with shares of EPS. Professionals point to factors such as the location and the time of completion of the activity, the content covered and the interference of these activities on the working process. It was found that practitionersrecognize the importance of educational activities, in its many forms, including EPS, courses, specialization and seminars, among others. However, many of these professionals have cited factors like activities outside the work environment, with content unrelated to their dailypractice without effective participation of all stakeholders as hindering factors of conducting such activities. Another gift in the speeches of professional item was the predominance of traditional methods during the development of educational activities.
