The Primary Health Care (PHC) characterizes the first contact of citizens with the health systems. The implementation of strategies such as the International Patient Safety Goals (IPSG) in this level of healthy attention appears as an alternative to qualify care. The study aims to investigate, thought science literature, studies related to IGPS in the field of PHC. It is an integrative review based on data from Scopus, MEDLINE/Pubmed, LILACS and Scielo, from 2012 to 2019. Out of 43 selected studies, the majority has analyzed data from the Spain (20.9%), followed by Brazil and United Kingdom, seven (16.4%) studies each. The MISP 3, regarding the improve the safety of medications was the most prevalent, 65.4% of the studies, sustaining themes as polypharmacy, potentially inappropriate medication, medication review and medication reconciliation. This integrative review contributes to increase the knowledge about the patient's safety in the field of PHC and emphasizes the need for further studies related to the six IGPS. Although most of them has already been described and debated in the hospital environment, the PHC remains an overlooked field of study.
