As reuniões de equipe como elemento fundamental na organização do trabalho.

Abstract

The present study was developed as part of the Integrated Research Project "New Forms of Health Work Organization: emphasis on nursing work", carried out at the University Hospital of the Rio Grande Federal University. A series of studies were carried out with the objective of identifying the occurrence, content, periodicity and vision of nursing personnel about staff meetings in order to understand the importance of holding periodic meetings. Interviews were carried out with 21 nursing professionals. Data analysis revealed two main categories: differences in vision about staff meetings among nursing personnel and dichotomy between what theory dictates and what truly happens in staff meetings.
