INTRODUCTION: The insertion of the Central Peripheral Insertion Catheter (PICC) is a very common procedure in hospitalized patients and the nurse has the autonomy to indicate and perform the procedure, provided that she has received specific training. PURPOSE: to analyze the competence of nurses in relation to the use of PICC in hospitalized adult patients. METHODOLOGY: an exploratory descriptive study with a cross - sectional design and a qualitative approach carried out in a large public hospital, with 15 nurses working in hospitalization units of adult patients. The data were collected in an individual interview recorded on digital media or registered by the interviewer in writing at the time of its accomplishment and were analyzed by the content analysis of Bardin (2011). RESULTS: the results were presented in five categories: nurses' knowledge about the management of PICC, ability to use PICC, attitude/ adherence in the management of PICC, reasons for noncompliance with PICC use in adults, and suggestions for adherence to the use of PICC in adults. The majority of nurses do not have the competence to perform the PICC course. Nurses reported reasons for noncompliance with PICC and suggested ways to increase catheter use in adult patients outside intensive care units. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The majority of nurses still do not have competence to use the PICC. Very few have the necessary knowledge, the less they have developed the technical skill for their accomplishment, and none have demonstrated an attitude of acquiring that competence. It is necessary to invest in the training of health professionals and in the development of a more proactive attitude of nurses to increase their competencies to improve the quality of their care.
