Objective: To analyze nurses’ competence to use peripherally inserted central catheters among adults. Method: descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach conducted in a teaching hospital located in Goiás, Brazil. Data were collected in March and April 2017. Individual interviews were guided by a structured script and submitted to content analysis. Results: Fifteen nurses participated and reported insufficient knowledge and little ability to use the catheter. Six had already been trained, but only two reported implementing this procedure in their practice. Lack of training, interest, and institutional incentive were reported. The participants suggested that the institution provided support for nurses’ professional qualification and sufficient personnel to encourage its use among nurses. Conclusion: The nurses showed weaknesses in the three pillars that determine professional competence to use peripherally inserted central catheters: knowledge, skill, and attitude. A proactive attitude is recommended, seeking professional qualification and promoting an institutional philosophy that favors continuing education to update the health staff’s knowledge and ensure patient safety.
