Abstract
This study aimed to identify the ethical problems experienced by nurses in the Brazilian Family Health Strategy. It is an integrative literature review carried out between March and April 2018 in four databases, by cross-referencing the following descriptors: “ethics,” “bioethics,” “nursing,” and “Family Health Strategy.” After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight articles remained. The subsequent analysis identified four categories: ethical problems related to users, the team, the organization of health service, and strategies adopted by nurses to face ethical problems. We concluded on the urgent implementation of emancipatory educational processes that enable health professionals to build knowledge and develop competences to identify and manage problems involving ethical issues.
