Abstract

MACEDO, João Paulo; SOUSA, Adrielly Pereira de  and  CARVALHO, Andressa Veras de. Population in street situation: team work and intersectionality. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.4, pp. 159-174. ISSN 2177-093X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20435/pssa.vi.943.

This paper aims to discuss team and intersectoral work in social policies, in the field of Health and Social Care, that assist Population in Street Situation. The research carried out is of qualitative nature. For data production, we used a semi-structured interview script, observation of the services, and field diary. Participants were 15 professionals who are part of the teams of specialized services in care of Population in Street Situation, five of them were from the Street Clinic, and ten from the Centre for Population in Street Situation. The profile of the public attending these services, composed by complex needs, which are extended to several professional nuclei and sector politics, print other nuances to professional practice, such as the need for team and intersectoral work, which, although indispensable, face challenges that compromise the quality and resolution of the care provided.

Keywords : homeless people; public health services; social services; intersectoral collaboration.
