Abstract(s)
Objectives: to identify nursing challenges for universal health coverage, based on the findings of
a systematic review focused on the health workforce’ understanding of the role of humanization
practices in Primary Health Care. Method: systematic review and meta-synthesis, from the
following information sources: PubMed, CINAHL, Scielo, Web of Science, PsycInfo, SCOPUS,
DEDALUS and Proquest, using the keyword Primary Health Care associated, separately, with the
following keywords: humanization of assistance, holistic care/health, patient centred care, user
embracement, personal autonomy, holism, attitude of health personnel. Results: thirty studies
between 1999-2011. Primary Health Care work processes are complex and present difficulties
for conducting integrative care, especially for nursing, but humanizing practices have showed
an important role towards the development of positive work environments, quality of care and
people-centered care by promoting access and universal health coverage. Conclusions: nursing
challenges for universal health coverage are related to education and training, to better working
conditions and clear definition of nursing role in primary health care. It is necessary to overcome
difficulties such as fragmented concepts of health and care and invest in multidisciplinary
teamwork, community empowerment, professional-patient bond, user embracement, soft
technologies, to promote quality of life, holistic care and universal health coverage.
