| Summary: | Objective: To understand the challenges primary health care nurses face regarding their leadership exercise during periods of health crisis in an international border city.
Method: Exploratory, descriptive, and qualitative study conducted in the Primary Health Care of a border municipality in the Southern Region of Brazil in 2023. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 nurses and submitted to Content Analysis.
Results: The analysis categories showed that, for nurses, the exercise of their leadership in times of health crisis is affected by the inefficiency of communication between management and the team, highlighting the gaps that compromise decision-making. There is an overload of responsibilities as nurses take on the roles of informal leaders. The difficulties in serving foreigners are due to the absence of clear protocols and the language.
Conclusion: Leading in the international border region during health crisis pressures nurses to have the specific knowledge to lead their team.
