Human aging is a worldwide phenomenon, which Brazil has experienced expressively in contemporary times. This growing increase in the elderly segment of the Brazilian population requires a reorganization and planning of public and social health policies in the country, focusing on longevity, providing comprehensive health care services for the elderly. As a gateway to health services we find the Family Health Strategies, where the nurse is a professional who plays a fundamental role in the operation of this health service, so it is up to this professional to be qualified and able to perform their duties. Among the actions of health care for the elderly, performed by the professional nurse is the screening and stratification of risk for health vulnerabilities. Objective: To know the sense of self-efficacy of nurses who work in Family Health Strategies in relation to health care actions of the elderly. Method: This is a descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach, which was developed in basic health units where Family Health Strategies work in a municipality in the interior of RS, with nine nurses. Data collection was performed through individual interviews and data analysis was conducted through thematic content analysis. Result: They were presented as a scientific production. The scientific production I, entitled Sense of self-efficacy in the performance of the professional nurse in health care for the elderly, presented in the form of a scientific article revealed through what emerged from the interviews that the perception of self-efficacy at work by the nurses participating in this study was associated with four categories: 1) Sense of selfefficacy in strengthening practice by practice in the living environment, 2) Sense of self-efficacy and the family context in nursing care action, 3) Sense of self-efficacy and the burden of demands and 4) Staff as a key to their sense of self-efficacy, evidenced that there are factors that contribute to these professionals have a strong belief of self -efficacy, making that even if difficulties and setbacks occur, the effort on the part of this professional will be present persistent, from the beginning and throughout the care process the health of the elderly. Final considerations: It is of utmost importance that the nurse as a health care mediator to the elderly feel confident and able to perform their duties, having a high sense of self -efficacy to perform their work safely and effectively.
