Abstract

Objective: To investigate the incorporation of the environmental theme in Nurses' practice. Methodology: This is a qualitative-quantitative research, with a descriptive character where a questionnaire was applied with six nurses from the Family Health Units (USF) of the municipalities of Olinda and Recife-PE between October and November 2017. Results: Regarding the knowledge of the Ordinance 2,488 / 2011, 50% of the interviewed (n = 3) reported knowledge. Basic sanitation is present in 67% (n = 4) of the USF, where 83% (n = 5) of the units present a nearby canal and cases of diseases carried by elements of the surrounding environment. Conclusion: The role of the nurse has a prominent role in supporting the health of the population, although it should encompass more comprehensive actions aimed at the intersection with the environment through educational practices in the community, increasing the prevention of diseases and injuries.
