Gestão na atenção primária: implicações nas cargas de trabalho de gestores

“…The set of these challenges and difficulties, with their indication of their greater or lesser presence in the studied literature, is presented in Figure 2. Among the main challenges or difficulties mentioned by the authors who studied PHC management stands out the difficulties involved in a new care model, which is complex, aims to meet people's health needs, goes beyond the model of individual and curative care, and involves multi-professional teams oriented to perform an interdisciplinary work (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35) .

Acesso à saúde pela média complexidade: discurso coletivo de homens

“…5 The professionals need to qualify in relation to care for the male public, remembering that there is the importance of equal care for all, without an area limited only for a public, introducing and receiving these men in the PC services. 1 There is need for changing the services offered and the distribution of the multidisciplinary team, which could then include specialized professionals in Men's Health.

Concepções, práticas e perspectivas de ações de saúde coletiva: ótica de articuladores da atenção básica

“…Estudos mostram que o modelo reducionista de atendimento à saúde, apontado pelos articuladores, é uma dificuldade percebida por outros trabalhadores da AB. Identificou-se, por exemplo, que a atuação das equipes está estruturada de forma a priorizar o atendimento das queixas trazidas pelos usuários aos serviços, sobre as quais, as equipes intervêm pontualmente, pouco resolvendo e, além disso, dificultando a construção de vínculo entre usuários e equipes de saúde (5)(6)16) .…”
