Abstract

MENDONCA, Edna Mara  and  LANZA, Fernanda Moura. The concept of health and intersectoriality: implications on everyday primary health care. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.2, pp. 155-164. ISSN 2177-093X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20435/pssa.v13i2.1090.

This article aims at understanding the ideas of health and intersectoriality by Primary Health Care employees and verifies their implications. To do so, a qualitative research, supported by symbolic interactionism, was developed in a municipality of Minas Gerais from February to July 2018. Semi-structured interviews with 59 employees of the Municipal Health Department were carried out. The results show that workers who absorb the concept of health expansion spread it to other public policies and/or communities' partnerships. Moreover, the biomedical model limits the performance to curative attention, restricting the employee's performance in their teams or even in intrasectoral network. The idea of intersectoriality emerges as a network care strategy since it prioritizes the integration of several sectors to solve common issues. Thus, this article may contribute to a better understanding of the work in health.

Keywords : global health; Brazilian National Health Service; public health policies; primary health care; intersectoral collaboration.
