The study aimed to analyze the scientific productions about Interprofessional Collaboration in Primary Health Care. This is an integrative literature review, conducted between September and December 2017 by two reviewers individually in the following databases: LILACS, MEDLINE, SciELO and BDENF. The following controlled descriptors were used: Interprofessional Relations and Primary Health Care. The keyword Interprofessional Collaboration was also used. The initial database survey generated 521 articles related to the study. After applying the previously defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, a final sample of 08 productions was obtained. After analyzing the selected productions, two thematic categories were organized to facilitate analysis and understanding, namely: “NASF Matrix Support” and “Challenges in Teamwork”. The study concluded that the publications referring to interprofessional collaboration in the FHS mainly include NASF and matrix support as the forms of accomplishment of interprofessional collaboration, as well as interprofessional relations as facilitators or hinders in this process.
