| Summary: | This study aimed to shed light on aspects related to the role of the nurse in childcare. It is descriptive, exploratory research, of a qualitative nature. Data was provided by all the nurses working in the basic Health Units in Mandaguari-Paraná, was collected in 2010 through semi-structured interviews, and was later submitted to content analysis.
