ResumoEste estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o Centro de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador (CEREST) estadual do Ceará a partir das crenças dos representantes de sindicatos e usuários. Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa de campo, de cunho qualitativo, aplicada, do tipo exploratória e descritiva. Contou com a participação de três representantes de sindicatos e cinco usuários que responderam a uma entrevista semiestruturada. As informações foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo de Bardin e à análise de dados textuais com apoio do software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ). Os resultados apontaram entraves na gestão e na falta de clareza das funções do CEREST e a falta de profissionais. Conclui-se que existe uma defasagem entre trabalho prescrito e trabalho real causado por entraves políticos e problemas de gestão que acabam distanciando as ações do CEREST no Ceará do seu objetivo de prevenção e promoção da saúde do trabalhador.

For this purpose a qualitative descriptive-exploratory applied field research was conducted. Participants included three representatives of trade unions and five users who answered a semi-structured interview. The information was submitted to Bardin content analysis and analysis of textual data with support of the software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ). The results showed barriers in the management and lack of clarity of CEREST's functions as well as lack of professionals. We conclude that there is a gap between prescribed and real work due to political obstacles and management problems that end up distancing CEREST's actions from its goal of prevention and promotion of workers' health.
