Abstract: 
The recent SARS-COV-2 pandemic and the quick change in the epidemiological picture have highlighted the populace's needs and revealed the flaws in the healthcare systems. Even though the nurse's role in care teams is widely acknowledged, some care settings need help implementing the position. Barriers and facilitators must be identified to integrate the nurse's role in primary care settings. This review focused on the main barriers and facilitators to implementing the nurse's role in primary care settings. These results offer insightful data that stakeholders can use to create implementation plans for nurses' participation in programs and activities, addressing the issues that stand out as barriers and highlighting those that are facilitators.
