Primary Care (PC) has “strengthened itself as a national policy from the 96 Basic Operating Standard (Norma Operacional Básica 96, NOB 96) of the Unified Health System, which established per capita transfers for PC and specific incentives for the implementation of Family Health Programs and community agents in the municipalities”.1:30 The NPPC enabled the Municipal Health Departments, through federal resources, to expand the coverage in access to health actions, which influenced the reorganization of the Brazilian health care model, culminating in the establishment of the Family Health Strategy (FHS).[1]
Data collection was performed from October to December 2016, through semi-structured interviews, with the help of a script containing the following questions: What were the situations of workplace violence that you have experienced in the FHS? How do these situations influence your personal and work life? What are the conducts of the FHS team in situations of workplace violence? What strategies are or could be adopted to minimize situations of violence? The participants were characterized according to the variables of gender, age, time in the scenario and professional function performed
Summary
The Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde, SUS), considering the bases provided for in the 1988 Constitution, predicts decentralized health actions and services, organized in a regionalized and hierarchical network with democratic and participative management aimed at achieving comprehensive care and equity in access. From this perspective, Primary Health Care or Primary Care (PC) should play a central role in the care network organization.[1]. PC has “strengthened itself as a national policy from the 96 Basic Operating Standard (Norma Operacional Básica 96, NOB 96) of the Unified Health System, which established per capita transfers for PC and specific incentives for the implementation of Family Health Programs and community agents in the municipalities”.1:30 The NPPC enabled the Municipal Health Departments, through federal resources, to expand the coverage in access to health actions, which influenced the reorganization of the Brazilian health care model, culminating in the establishment of the Family Health Strategy (FHS).[1]
