To analyze the theoretical and methodological application of Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy in the scientific production of nursing.
An integrative review was carried out with consultation of the databases: LILACS, BDENF, MEDLINE, PUDMED and CINHAL. We included studies in the Spanish, English and Portuguese languages, published from 1990 to 2017.
A total of 38 articles were analyzed, of which the main concepts adopted were: dialogue/dialogicity, awareness/critical awareness and questioning. Regarding the application of the method, it was noticed the predominance of the adoption of elements such as culture circles, thematic phase and horizontality relation of the nurse with the individuals involved.
Nursing has partially appropriated the Freire's referential. However, it reveals the intentionality of a transformative practice that requires deepening for the implementation of the method in its full.
