Objective: To identify the nursing care to patients in post-operative pain. Method: Systematic review performed in the databases LILACS, BDENF, Medline and Pubmed. The PICO strategy (Patient, Intervention, Comparison and Outcomes) was applied to formulate the research question. The selection of articles used the PRISMA method (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). Results: 22 studies were selected, of which 10 addressed the control of pain in the postoperative period, through pharmacological and/or non-pharmacological methods. Conclusion: The analysis showed that the nurse is a professional who plays an active role in the control of postoperative pain, promoting the well-being of the individual with pain, through specific care for each patient.
