Intersectoral action: potentialities and difficulties of working in teams under the project Family Health Strategy in the city of Rio de Janeiro

ABSTRACT

The intersectoral approach is a health promotion action modifying of the social determinants of health. The objective of this study was to analyze intersectoral actions grounded on the perception of the health teams composing a health unit located in the city of Rio de Janeiro. We opted for the qualitative research, in which semi-structured interviews and direct observation were adopted. The results reveal fragile planning, monitoring and evaluation of actions; management and social control have proved little effective, and low public participation was also observed; the inter team and intersectoral work was disjointed; training did not focus on interdisciplinarity. The teamwork built propositions so to reorient practices and promote intersectoral expanded health logic.
