The strategy of Integrated Management of Childhood Illness, developed by the World Health Organization and United Nations Children's Fund, aims at reducing infant mortality through actions to improve the performance of health professionals, the organization of the health system and the family and community practices. This study aimed to evaluate the practices of nurses working on the Family Health Strategy related to the applicability of IMCI. It was used the exploratory descriptive method with a qualitative approach, carried out with nurses in the urban area of the Family Health Program in Campina Grande, from August to October 2011. The sample consisted of eight subjects. The data were collected through a structured interview. For the data analysis, the content analysis method of categorical theme proposed by Bardin was used. This study complied with Resolution 196/96 of the National Health Council in which the project was submitted to the ethics committee and research of the Center for Superior Teaching Development. It was carried out only after approval under protocol n. 00810.405.000.11. The qualitative results were arranged in two analytical categories: Applicability of IMCI by the nurses and difficulties to implement the IMCI. The results highlight the importance of IMCI as an instrument that facilitates the systematic approach and generates more driving safety consulting the nurse. As for the difficulties, the subjects emphasize the availability of a specific script to be used in consultation and lack of support for prescription drugs, generating uncertainty in attendance. The results lead us to conclude that a continuous education work is necessary to further the actions proposed by IMCI in such a way that it promotes a more comprehensive focus on health care to the child, based on scientific knowledge.
