Abstract

ZANARDO, Gabriela Lemos de Pinho; BIANCHESSI, Desirée Luzardo Cardozo  and  ROCHA, Kátia Bones. Devices and connections in the psychosocial assistance network (RAPS) of Porto Alegre - RS. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.3, pp.80-101. ISSN 2236-6407.

The goals of this study are to know the work devices which favor the Psychosocial Assistance Network from the workers’ perspective in Porto Alegre, and to investigate how the articulation among different points of the network happens. It is a qualitative research, with an exploratory-descriptive design. We interviewed thirteen health care professionals from several levels of care, and the interviews were analyzed with Content Analysis. We split the results into two thematic axes: (1) devices which help creating and featuring the network, and (2) connection among the network points: estrangement and difficulties in the articulation. From these, we consider that professionals adhere to the movement of changing the assistance logic, and try to narrow communication among themselves, even though some practices are still at the beginning. We highlight the fact that there is little contact between hospitals and other health care services, being this one of the points to be developed in the teams.
