This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Nursing Process in the consultation of patients with Tuberculosis in Primary Care through the verification of the effectiveness of an educational training program. This is a qualitative and exploratory study, anchored in the ideas of action research, to be carried out in the Municipality of Parnamirim, with primary care nurses. The study will take place in four stages: in the first, the nurses, through a focus group, will be submitted to a situational diagnosis about knowledge and application of the nursing process in Primary Care; In the second stage will be the development and validation of an educational program on the management of the Nursing Process within the nursing consultation to the patient with Tuberculosis; The third stage will be the application of the educational program with the nurses and finally the evaluation of the educational program with the nurses in order to learn their knowledge and implementation of the Nursing Process after the training. The educational process will be supported by the theoretical and philosophical concepts of Paulo Freire, one of the most respected personalities of Pedagogy and Education, with intense activity in Brazil and internationally. The proposal is an educational program that compares to a training process. The program aimed at nurses should not be extended, because it is a process of education in service, where professionals can not be absent for a long time from the health service. Thus, it will have an average duration of a 30-hour course. Analysis of action-research data will take place through content analysis. In order to be possible, the project will follow the ethical aspects that govern Resolution 466/2012 on research involving human beings. It will be sent to the Brazil Platform Online System, to initiate the ethical assessment, passing, prior to that, by the authorization of the Municipality through the issuance of an agreement term. The study becomes relevant as it can promote greater professional foundation in managing its actions in the care of patients with tuberculosis, as well as generating as a product an assistance technology that promotes greater professional emancipation in the care process.
