O trabalho do agente comunitário de saúde na concepção dos projetos terapêuticos singulares na perspectiva dos conceitos mundos profissionais e mundo comum

Abstract

This thesis investigated the work of the Community Health Agent (CHA) in the design of Singular Therapeutic Projects (STP) in order to produce knowledge related to an emerging professional world in the context of social innovation and to contribute to the definition of dimensions related to projects management, integrating work fabrication and elaboration of the collective experience of workers. This is a qualitative research which procedures were guided by the methodological approach of Ergonomic Analysis of Work. Analysis of the work of CHA were framed within the concepts of Professional World and Common World, two analyzers that contribute to our understanding of the collective dimension inherent to the conceptual processes. The results of this thesis showed that, although the CHA Professional World is in the process of consolidation, it displays its own logic, which is centered on the user's needs and guided by the innovative premises of the public health system. In order to meet the objective of contributing to the definition of dimensions related to management of STP, this research showed that the construction of a Common World within the scope of the service studied is still incipient, since team meetings have little support to promote exchanges between workers. Such situation weakens the proper concept of STP, especially as teams operate within the current biomedical paradigm, which restricts the participation of CHA in designing STP, because their contribution is based on the dimensions of the health-disease process, which goes beyond biomedical issues.
