Objective: to understand the process of continuing education by primary health care nurses and their interfaces with ambulatory care sensitive conditions. Methods: a qualitative study was carried out with 14 nurses from health units. To collect the data, we used semi-structured interviews and the analysis was carried out through dialectical hermeneutics. Results: two categories emerged: Assistance in primary health care and hospital admissions -which pointed out that the major cause of hospitalizations is related to chronic diseases, and that most of them were preventable; Education: a tool to deal with ambulatory care sensitive conditionswhere continuing education is recognized as a tool to interfere in the occurrence of these hospitalizations, but the practices carried out are closer to continuing education. Conclusion: nurses have developed educational processes that are closer to continuing education. The relationship between continuing education and ambulatory care sensitive conditions is still incipient.Objetivo: compreender o processo de educação permanente realizado pelos enfermeiros da atenção primária à saúde e suas interfaces com as condições sensíveis à atenção primária.

Resultados: emergiram duas categorias: Assistência na atenção primária à saúde e internações hospitalares -apontou que a maior causa de internações está relacionada a doenças crônicas, e que grande parte delas poderia ser evitada; Educação: ferramenta para lidar com as condições sensíveis à atenção primária -a educação permanente é reconhecida como ferramenta para interferir na ocorrência dessas hospitalizações, porém as práticas realizadas aproximam-se mais da educação continuada. Conclusão: os enfermeiros desenvolvem processos educativos que se aproximam mais da educação continuada. A relação entre educação permanente e condições sensíveis a atenção primária ainda é incipiente.
