Participation and social control: perception of family health workers

Abstract

This is a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study that aimed at analyzing the perceptions of a family health team regarding participation and social control in health. The study was developed with workers of a Family Health Team in southern Santa Catarina. Data were collected using the Sensitive Creative Method and analyzed through the process of thematic content analysis. Regarding participation in health, two empirical categories were identified: passive participant in health; and dialogical process as participation in the Family Health Team. As for social control in health, the categories identified were: institutionalized space as a social control in health; and disease monitoring as social control in health. The results showed perceptions related to the reflections on the health model and others that indicate the possibility of advancements in the discussions with local contribution for participation and social control in health.

Scope and Limitations of Municipal Health Councils: A Case Study

“…On the one hand, health-care professionals generally do not value the space for dialogue as an opportunity to learn from public knowledge and to see other perspectives of health care (Soratto & Witt, 2013), which is contrary to the results of international surveys that recommend the incorporation of users' knowledge and experience in the processes of decision making (Callon, Lascoumes, & Barthe, 2001;Rojatz & Forster, 2017).
