ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the situations generating Moral Distress in Primary Care nurses from different regions of Brazil. Method: Qualitative research, with 13 nurses of the Brazilian Primary Health Care, through a semi-structured interview and submitted to the Discursive Textual Analysis, with the resources of the software ATLAS.ti 7.0. Results: They are presented in four categories, relating the Moral Distress to the professional; health services; users and conflicts in professional practice. Final Considerations: By assuming ethical and political values as guides to their action, nurses give greater visibility to the moral content of many problems and weaknesses that could be seen only by the bias of working conditions.
