Trabalho com grupos na atenção primária à saúde: um relato de experiência

Abstract

Primary health care is characterized by its capacity for capillarity, decentralization and length of care. In the health care networks of the Unified Health System (SUS), it plays an essential role in the organization of these networks, seeking to ensure that the user has his health needs met. Supporting these concepts, expanding the scope of their actions, groups in primary health care are powerful collective care devices, in line with the national humanization policy that reinforces the importance of these actions. The present work proposes to report the experience of a mental health care resident who, during her journey through the territory, sought to implement and work on the theme of groups in a health unit composed of two primary health care teams. During this experience, several challenges were faced, mainly among them: the biomedical culture of health care, the context of weakening of these actions in health and the unavailability of time of the worker who needs to attend to other work demands. In addition, in the Brazilian health scenario, we had the implementation of the Previne Brasil program and in global health we faced the Covid-19 pandemic. From this experience, it was understood that there are difficulties in developing group actions in the unit. However, as the meetings took place, the potential of this work was perceived, strengthening significant bonds between users and workers, stimulating the health care of the participants and providing an expanded view of health.
