Introduction: Primary Health Care (PHC) is essential healthcare accessible to all individuals and communities. One of the challenges of the renewed PHC is the strengthening of competencies of PHC teams. Competencies are the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are manifested when a task is performed and are related to its successful performance. One of the vulnerable groups affected by the lack of adequate skills to address their health problems is the indigenous population. Therefore, it is essential to know the competencies that these communities consider important so that health personnel can be trained based on these findings. Objective: To synthesize the evidence reported in the literature on the competencies of health personnel in renewed PHC, from the point of view of the indigenous population and health personnel. Methods: Qualitative systematic review of the literature published during the period 2005 - present. An electronic search was carried out in databases and 24 studies were identified that evaluated the perceptions of health personnel and the indigenous population about the competencies of health personnel to work with indigenous communities. Data were extracted and synthesized using thematic synthesis as a qualitative synthesis methodology. The confidence of the findings was assessed using the GRADE - CERQual approach. Results: 24 studies were analyzed, of which 23 were from high-income countries and 1 from middle-income countries. The competencies of health personnel were identified by classifying them in knowledge, skills and attitudes. Among the findings related to knowledge, issues such as insufficient cultural training and stigmatization by health personnel were evidenced. Regarding skills, the language barrier, language adaptation, attention oriented to individual characteristics, consultation time, acceptance of beliefs and inclusion of the Aboriginal workforce were mentioned. The most valued attitudes were kindness, respect, the presence of a supportive environment and an interest in learning about Aboriginal culture. Conclusions: Competencies are fundamental elements of Primary Health Care Teams, especially in addressing the health problems of aboriginal communities, since they allow greater acceptance by them. This review shows excerpts from primary studies on those competencies that help the health provider to achieve a greater understanding about the needs of the indigenous population.
