Descriptive text of a retrospective nature, with the objective to discuss the importance of communication in providing patients with safe nursing care. The study was conducted in the last quarter of 2015. The work is composed of 13 articles selected by year of publication, from 2011 to 2015, in the EBSCOhost Research Databases and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) database, along with all the basic works of the philosopher Martin Buber. Safe and people-centric care is based on a dichotomous relationship-dialogue concept in nursing care, understanding human beings from a holistic perspective and in the belief that dialogue should be viewed as something more than a mechanism for communication, but one replete with significances.
