The evaluation of the quality of nursing care is one of the main components that allow the manager to identify the weaknesses of the work process and make decisions.

It was observed that there was no increase in the number of publications on the development and updating of tools, among the tools used, there was a predominance of questionnaires and all of them evaluated aspects related to patient satisfaction with nursing care, the characteristics of the process of care, aspects of nursing interventions and aspects related to patient complaints. Although important, the tools for assessing the quality of care are still poorly studied and need further studies in the area of Nursing.
