Abstract

INTRODUCTION: From a hospital perspective, nursing plays a crucial role in the implementation of health education, which in turn is worked through strategies aimed at the quality of life of users, family members and companions. OBJECTIVE: To analyze health education strategies implemented by nurses for patients, families and companions in tertiary care. METHODOLOGY: Integrative literature review as a scientific research method, and follows the recommendations of the PRISMA method (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses). The guiding question of this study was developed using the PCC strategy, which corresponds to the initials of "Population", "Concept" and "Context". Articles were located through searches carried out on the Virtual Health Library (VHL) research platform in the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS); Online Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLINE/PubMed); Nursing Database (BDENF); Online Scientific Electronic Library (SciELO); Web of Science and Scopus. The selected articles were published from 2018 to 2023, in English and Portuguese, available in full for free. For the analysis of the selected studies, the information collection tool developed by Ursi and Galvão was used. RESULTS: Following the selection criteria, seven (7) articles were included that showed the health education strategies implemented by nurses in tertiary care, among which the following stand out: holding lectures and conversation circles, preparing and distributing illustrated educational materials, monitoring telephone and through social networks and collective and individualized education. CONCLUSION: In this study, it was possible to identify the strategies integrated by nurses to patients, family members and companions in tertiary care, through conversation circles, lectures, distribution of educational materials and telephone follow-up. In addition, the scarcity of articles on health education actions in the hospital environment is notorious, mainly with a focus on nursing.
