ABSTRACT
Objective
to understand nurses' perception regarding the necessary conditions for the promotion of positive parenting in assisting families with children aged from zero to three years old in Primary Care.
Method
this is a qualitative research study developed in a municipality from the inland of São Paulo, with participation of nine nurses who work in Primary Care. The data were collected from July to August 2021 by means of semi-structured interviews and analyzed based on the thematic modality of content analysis.
Results
the statements were organized in two categories: Necessary conditions for the Promotion of Positive Parenting in Primary Care; and Factors hindering the Promotion of Positive Parenting in Primary Care.
Conclusion
nurses realize the importance of building positive parenting through the development of parenting skills; however, they assume that they need more theoretical-practical knowledge to carry out care for this purpose and assert that the families' culture is not receptive to this type of care.
