Objective:
To analyze the advantages and challenges of nurses in instrumental assistance management by Systematization of Nursing Assistance (SNA).
Methods:
This is a qualitative study, based on the framework of dialectical hermeneutics. The sample consisted of 32 nurses from three hospitals in a city in southern Minas Gerais. We used the Focus Group with the guiding question: "What are the facilities and the challenges for the implementation of the SNA in the management of assistance?". After the interviews, the speeches were transcribed verbatim. Content analysis of the data allowed to extract the category Facilities and challenges for SAE in the daily work of nurses.
Results:
The results showed facilitators and challenging points, in which participants consider the SNA a facilitator in planning and organization of care, however, there are internal issues in the institutions that serve as barriers to nurses in its implementation.
Conclusion:
However, the successful implementation of the SNA happens through a mutual development.
