Processo de interação ensino, serviço e comunidade: a experiência de um PET-Saúde

This report describes the experience of a group under the Educational Program for Health Work (PET-Saude) at the State University in Feira de Santana (UEFS) in Bahia State, Brazil, in Health Units, from a critical and reflexive perspective towards interaction between education, services, and the community. Participants in the project were undergraduate students in pharmacy, physical education, nursing, medicine, and dentistry. Evaluation of the process included follow-up meetings and use of the portfolio. The experience of different actors in the group proved to be innovative, challenging, and complex, since it required linkage between a teaching institution, health services, health professionals, and the community.

Agente comunitário de saúde: sujeito da prática em saúde bucal em Alagoinhas, Bahia

This study about the work of micro politics was carried out by the Buccal Health Team (ESB) in the Family Health Program (PSF) of Alagoinhas, Bahia State, and has as central theoretical purpose the specific and singular forms in the practice of daily work, using the technologies (hard, light-hard and light). The methodological trajectory is based on the historical-social current in view of a dialectic approach of qualitative nature. The techniques of data collection used were: semi structured interview, observation of the work process and documental analysis. The analysis of the data was oriented by the hermeneutics-dialectics, allowing to compare the different levels of analysis, articulating the theoretical with the empirical evidence. The results reveal that the Family Health Teams are multidisciplinary, but have still not developed an interdisciplinary work, hence occurring juxtaposition of skills. Each unit plans their work process according to the singularities of the social subjects, implementing different characteristics in how to welcome, inform, attend and refer. An effort in changing the work process can be perceived in the perspective of amplified clinic with the health community agent standing out as a social/collective subject.
