| Summary: | The Family Healthcare Strategy proposes a restructuring of primary healthcare, focusing on
the community attended within its context. In this sense, social participation is essential for the diagnosis,
definition of priorities, follow-up, and evaluation of the work. The health worker plays a fundamental
role in creating a favorable environment and conditions for participation. The objective of this study
was to describe the participation concepts and practices of a Family Healthcare team and implement a
process of reflection on such issues. The investigative methodology was used, with a total of six meetings,
which were recorded and transcribed, with their contents later analyzed. The concepts and practices of
the team were observed to be pervaded by the medicalizing persepctive, which we considered to be a
limiting factor to promoting participation. The investigative methodology enabled us to identify in the
team the importance, limits, and possibilities for the practice of participation among users, which could
help to increase awareness of their role as mediators. |
