  "abstract": "Introduction\n\nDrug use is a public health concern due to its high prevalence and associated biopsychosocial consequences. Despite theimportanceofharmreductioninprimaryhealthcare, aknowledge gap exists regarding the specific interventions implemented by nurses.Objective\n\nTo describe the nursing interventions that can be implemented within primary health care for people who use drugs to reduce harm associated with drug use.Materials and methods\n\nA scoping review was conducted following the Arksey and O'Malley framework. The literature search was conducted in PubMed, VHL, ProQuest, and Google Scholar in July 2024.Results\n\nA total of 1,518 studies were identified; of which 12 met the eligibility criteria for analysis: 10 retrieved from databases and 2 from Google Scholar. Five categories emerged from the analysis, of which educational/ psychoeducational interventions were the most frequently reported (75%), followed by preventive and risk-mitigation practices (50%) and clinical and emotional support interventions (42%).Discussion\n\nThe role of nursing in reducing harm from drug use is highlighted, given that interventions ranging from education and psychological support through cognitive-behavioral therapy to preventive actions and clinical risk mitigation practices contribute to the well-being and care of each person.Conclusion\n\nNursing interventions in primary health care are key to improving quality of life and require specific training for professionals and policies that facilitate access to harm reduction resources.",
