Qualitative Descriptive Exploratory Research developed in 2008 at Psychosocial Attention Center II and ad located in Curitiba metropolitan region. OBJECTIVE: understand the nursing team role along with the Psychosocial Attention Center multidisciplinary team. The participants were two Registered Nurses and three Auxiliary Nurses. The data was collected by a semi-structured interview and organized in thematic categories: The Psychosocial Attention Center Assistance Specificities and The Nursing Team Role at the Psychosocial Attention Center. The Nursing professionals recognize that CAPS represents a quality improvement in mental health assistance considering a humanized treatment and resocialization possibilities, as opposed to the hospital-centric model. However, it is necessary to consider there is some confusion in relation to the professional role as a multiprofessional team for this service.
