Objective: to review studies that refer to interventions and responsibilities of public health nurses, since the creation of the Portuguese National Health Service (NHS) in 1979, to the present day. Method: scoping review, following the PCC - participants, concept and context version of The Joanna Briggs Institute. We consulted databases such as the Biblioteca do Conhecimento Online, Scientific Electronic Library Online, EBSCOhost Online Research Databases. The publication period was from 1979 to 2018. Results: we selected four published articles and six master's dissertations, between 2010 and 2016. The subjects have to do with nurses' activities and actions, autonomy and competences, normative foundations, perceptions of nursing teams, health, transmission and collection of health information. Conclusion: The results, even if scarce, provided clues for a reflection on the mode, type of intervention processes of these nurses, who, according to some of them, understand their competences more than they concretize them.
RESUMO
Objetivo: revisar os estudos que referenciam as intervenções e responsabilidades do enfermeiro de saúde pública, desde a criação do Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS) Português em 1979, até aos nossos dias. Método: scoping review, seguindo a versão PCC - participants, concept and context, do The Joanna Briggs Institute. Consultamos bases de dados como a Biblioteca do Conhecimento Online, Scientific Eletronic Library Online, EBSCOhost Online Research Databases. O período de publicação foi de 1979 a 2018. Resultados: selecionamos quatro artigos publicados e seis dissertações de mestrado, entre 2010 e 2016. Os temas têm a ver com atividades e atuações dos enfermeiros, autonomia e competências, fundamentos normativos, perceções de equipas de saúde, transmissão e obtenção de informação em saúde. Conclusão: Os resultados apurados, mesmo que escassos, forneceram pistas para uma reflexão acerca do modo, tipo dos processos de intervenção, destes enfermeiros, que segundo a opinião de alguns deles, compreendem mais as suas competências do que as concretizam.
RESUMEN
Objetivo: revisar estudios que se refieren a intervenciones y responsabilidades de enfermeros de salud pública, desde la creación del Servicio Nacional de Salud de Portugal (SNS) en 1979, hasta la actualidad. Método: revisión de alcance, siguiendo el PCC - participantes, concepto y versión de contexto del Instituto Joanna Briggs. Consultamos bases de datos como Biblioteca do Conhecimento Online, Scientific Eletronic Library Online, EBSCOhost Online Research Databases. El período de publicación fue 1979 a 2018. Resultados: seleccionamos cuatro artículos publicados y seis disertaciones de maestría, entre 2010 y 2016. Los temas tienen que ver con las actividades, acciones de los enfermeros, autonomía y competencias, fundamentos normativos, percepciones de los equipos de enfermería, salud, transmisión y recopilación de información sanitaria. Conclusión: los resultados, aunque escasos, proporcionaron pistas para reflexionar sobre el modo, tipo de procesos de intervención de estos enfermeros, quienes, según algunos de ellos, entienden sus competencias más de lo que las concretan.
