“…The data show that few professionals remain working in the FHS for a considerable time, corroborating what previous studies have described in the literature, highlighting how professionals do not remain working in PHC (Cotta et al, 2006;Junqueira et al, 2009Junqueira et al, , 2010. Among the significant causes that explain this finding is the 2precariousness" of the work and dissatisfaction with it, stemming from problems related to feeling professionally undervalued; wage policy; instability in the employment relationship -often organized as providing indirect services to the municipal health department (Binda;Bianco;Sousa, 2013); demotivation with working conditions; lack of opportunities for professional growth; interpersonal relationships within the FHS unit; selection and recruitment and lack of adequate infrastructure in the FHS units among others (Medeiros et al, 2010;Junqueira et al, 2009Junqueira et al, , 2010Cotta et al, 2006). Another disadvantageous aspect concerns the appearance of inefficient ways of managing the FHS, such as outsourcing to state foundations or social organizations (SO) (Cotta et al, 2006).…”

“…This is significant as the perspective of those professionals with an average level of education, especially the CHWs, regarding (bio)ethical problems in the FHS is prevalent in the group studied. It seems clear that the fact that the CHWs live and work in the same geographical space implies a different view of their own practice and the problems occurring in it (Binda et al, 2013). However, this context reflects the reality, as the FHS teams usually contain 75.0% of professionals with average levels of education -i.e.…”

“…O trabalho na Atenção Básica é considerado de grande complexidade, visto as constantes mudanças no processo de gestão e do trabalho em saúde. O desempenho do ACS como elo é fortalecido quando, ao percorrer os territórios geográficos, integra-se com a comunidade, acompanha aspectos da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos, buscando demandas para serem atendidas junto aos demais membros da equipe de saúde (15,16) . Estas considerações se assemelham as da presente pesquisa, na qual há o entendimento de que os ACS devem constantemente manter ligação entre comunidade e demais membros da equipe de saúde.…”

However, it is necessary to emphasize that, in order to obtain the expected success, it is necessary that, during the postnatal home visit, the community health agent be able to provide adequate technical information, as well as physical and emotional support to the nursing mother [3].…”
