Multiprofissional practice on health from the nursing perspective

Objective: This study aims to analyze the scientific production in nursing about the multiprofessional performance. To this end, we have as guiding question: What is the scientific production in nursing about the multiprofessional performance? Methods: This is an integrative review where data collection was carried out between February and March 2019, based on consultations carried out on the following bases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences, CAPES Portal and the Library Virtual Scientific Electronic Library Online. Results: Some activities were seen as potential for interdisciplinary practice, such as multiprofessional visits to inpatients and team meetings. The nursing professional is seen as an integrator of various knowledge because he is constantly with the patient, and because of this he is able to identify more easily possible changes during 24 hours. Thus, the nurse is the meeting point between the components of the multiprofessional team, being responsible for unifying the communication. Final considerations: Currently, education is undergoing a process of transition from multiprofessionalism to interprofessionalism. The deficit of the theme is focused both on the differentiation and separation of the concepts of each one, as well as on the lack of strategies that support the proposal of interdisciplinary action.
