Nurses' knowledge and practices in primary care contributing to health promotion: A systematic review and mixed synthesis

Health promotion in primary care has been explored mainly in the practices of extended health teams, without focusing specifically on nursing professionals. Systematic reviews respond to the need to ensure that decisions affecting people's lives rest on updated and comprehensive evidence.

Objective

To identify the specific knowledge and practices of nursing professionals in primary health care that contribute to health promotion, together with the factors that facilitate or hinder their implementation, in order to strengthen the distinctive role of nursing in health promotion within primary health care.
