This study aims to reflect on the use of the IraMuteq® software as a tool to support the analysis of textual data in the field of qualitative research in Nursing. In this
sense, the increasingly frequent use of digital technologies brought changes that extended to qualitative research carried out by Nursing, progressively applying the use of software to aid in the analysis of qualitative data. Profuse textual data, poorly structured and collected through peculiar instruments, seek to understand the perspective of the participants, interpreted by the experiences of the researcher who seeks to assign meanings from a subjective perspective. The analytical and critical capacity of the qualitative researcher in the research process and the
various options for analyzing textual data, support in graphic elements, rescue of context in the process, gratuity, in addition to methodological rigor, turn IraMuteq® into an excellent tool that results in more agile and reliable research. However, it is highlighted that, despite the growing trend of its application in Nursing research,
the advantages offered will depend on the knowledge and exploration of the software by the researcher, his mastery of computer technology and his ability to analyze data that are organized by IraMuteq®, so that its use is really efficient.
