Gestão compartilhada: a participação popular como estratégia para a renovação do processo de trabalho dos profissionais de saúde

Abstract

Objective: To describe how popular participation has contributed to the renewal of the work process according to the perception of nursing professionals in Primary Health Care. Methodology: Descriptive study with a qualitative approach, developed with professional managers of twelve Family Health Strategies, from the municipality of Pesqueira-PE, from May to September 2019. Results: Three analysis categories were structured, namely: Knowledge Public Policies that reinforce popular participation in health services, Weaknesses in health services that impact the work process of nursing professionals and Perception of professionals about their work process by including popular participation in their daily practice. Final considerations: Popular participation has demonstrated irrefutable advances in the development of public policies that converge directly to the type of work that the professionals who assist them develop. However, in recent years, this role has diminished, and thus, there is scope for political measures that violate constitutional rights to be disseminated among society, allowing the practice of assistance work based on quantitative variables of the care offered, and not the quality of this.
