EDIANEZ GAYESKI, Michele et al. Nursing care organization systems: Reflections on the complexity of care as assistance practice. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.1, pp.49-62. ISSN 0864-0319.

This article aims to understand how nurses see the complexity of nursing care within an orrganizational system in health. To this end, we developed an integrative literature review, using the Scielo database. The analysis resulted in 26 complete references from 2004 to 2010. We found that understanding nursing as a complex system of production of health services is not always easy, as well as recognizing the profession within the administrative bases. The production of nursing care within this complex phenomenon is not always valued and often underestimated because the nurses feel it is only an integrator of other professions. We conclude that we move away from the essence of nursing when we lose the ability to understand our product not only as an integrator, but as a key part of the process of living, being healthy and sick.

Keywords : organization of the care of nursing; organizational systems in health; systems of care and care of nursing.
