Abstract

To unveil the Permanent Education in Health practices developed by the Family Health Support Center in the care provided to older adults. A qualitative and exploratory-descriptive study developed in a municipality in the state of Paraná with professionals from the Family Health Support Center. Data were obtained by the Focus Group technique and submitted to the Descending Hierarchical Classification using IRaMuTeQ®software. The implemented theoretical-analytical references were the National Policy of Permanent Education in Healthcare and the Dialogical Theory. Forty-six (46) professionals participated. Five classes emerged which revealed that the practices of permanent education in care provided to older adults occur during the moments of discussion of cases, in collaborative care planning ( matriciamento ), in the home visits, in the operative groups and in the daily life of the informal work. The permanent education practices developed by the professionals in the care provided to older adults occur at different moments of professional performance and are permeated by the practice.

Highlights

  • IntroductionThe Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS – Sistema Único de Saúde) has several competences and among them the ordering of training in the health area stands out, which was conceived in the year 1988 from the Brazilian Federal Constitution[1]

  • The Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC) subdivided the corpus into 175 Elementary Context Units (ECU), and its totality (100%) was considered relevant and analyzed by the program, demonstrating excellent consistency of the analyzed content and being used to construct the five classes from the content partitions (Figure 1)

  • I believe that Permanent Education in Health (PEH) occurs in the older adult Home Visit (HV), because we evaluate the older adult patient and the Community Health Agent (CHA) and another professional is usually accompanying us, so they learn parts of the other training, to be able to guide in another HV (FG1)

Summary

Introduction

The Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS – Sistema Único de Saúde) has several competences and among them the ordering of training in the health area stands out, which was conceived in the year 1988 from the Brazilian Federal Constitution[1]. Permanent Education in Health (PEH) was conceived as a relevant policy, and is based on meaningful learning and the possibility of transforming professional practices and the organization of work itself[2]. PEH provides a reflexive practice, mediated by the capacity for reflection and the need for transforming the processes generated at work. Their assumptions prioritize the daily problems of health services and teams, seeking the transformation of practices, relationships between subjects and understanding of health work in an attempt to overcome the logic of skills, improvements and updates[2-5]
