O trabalho multiprofissional na Estratégia Saúde da Família: Estudo sobre modalidades de equipes

Abstract

This paper presents a case study that examined the multiprofessional teamwork in health based on theory of conversations by Echeverria and in the analysis criteria built by Peduzzi. The field of study was a basic health unit that is part of the Family Health Strategy (ESF) in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. It was considered as an analysis unit one family health team, and were performed nine semi-structured interviews and nine sessions of participant observation of the team meetings. Results indicate that the teamwork in the ESF emerges as a possibility for a more communicative and cooperative practice in which professionals recognize the other's work and share the goals, setting up as a small network of conversations.
