摘要：Integrative and Complementary Practices (PICs) are a set of practices and products that do not belong to traditional medical treatments, called complementary, when used in parallel with conventional medicine, substitutes, when used to replace biomedical practices or when they replace specific technical fields based on efficacy and safety, evaluation of traditional medicine, and comprehensive therapies. This research was carried out with the aim of describing the use of PICs and the possibility of their contribution to improving the quality of life of nursing workers in Primary Care (PHC). Exploratory and bibliographic study of qualitative analysis of the literature, using articles available in full, in electronic databases between the years 2012 to 2021. It was identified that the researched articles showed beneficial results from the use of PICs in a broad way, and some researchers have identified commonalities between PICs and Quality of Work Life (QWL). We can conclude that PICs can positively contribute to the health of nursing professionals, acting as a facilitator or user of these, as well as being beneficial to users of the Unified Health System that participate. In this way, it is feasible to increase the offer of practices in PHC, and it is possible that this will have a positive impact on the QWL of these professionals.
