Its specific objectives were: to identify scientific evidence through studies by pioneering and contemporary nurses, in relation to the investigative dimension of the profession, on the theme of Integrative and Complementary Health Practices in Santa Catarina, based on the CNPq Lattes Platform; and, qualitatively analyzed the scientific productions of nurse researchers working in Santa Catarina, by searching databases. Methodology: this is an exploratory and descriptive study, of documentary type, with a qualitative approach. The population was the record of scientific evidence by the production of professional nurses in relation to their research curriculum and the production of articles found in electronic databases on the theme Integrative and Complementary Health Practices. Data collection was carried out in two stages, the first was in the search for curricula of pioneering nurses through scientific production in the state of SC. In the second stage, it is possible to identify studies through articles registered in the electronic databases LILACS, SciELO, BDENF. Based on the data collected, Content Analysis was performed according to Bardin. Results and performance: The searches resulted in the identification of 10 selected curricula of nurse researchers in SC. The scientific articles identified resulted at the end of the method with three selected publications. With the results, it can be seen that the role of nursing with PICS requires expanding, investing and strengthening their knowledge about these practices, at the same time that they need to collaborate to implement them in health services, overcoming the challenges not only of the profession, but also to overcome the hegemony of the biomedical model. One of the highest category points in the performance of nursing in PICS as a factor of innovation would be to oppose the biomedical model, precisely by structuring the professional practice based on the PICS in their daily care management practice, considering the dimensions of the profession and familiarity with the holistic and comprehensive care that the nurse is able to perform.
