ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to analyze the implications of precarious work for the organization of work and for the health of nursing professionals in a surgical center.

Methods:

qualitative, descriptive study in which the interview technique was applied on 30 nursing professionals from a surgical center in a university hospital located in the Southeast region of Brazil. The project was approved by the research ethics committee. Thematic content analysis was applied in the categorization of speeches.

Results:

precarious work in the surgical center negatively affects the organization of work due to staff turnover, loss of skilled talent, and the need for continuous training of temporary workers. It also affects the quality of care, leading to risks to patient safety and workers’ health.Final Considerations: it is important to make work conditions less precarious in order to minimize staff turnover and promote the quality of the service offered and the health of the worker.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to understand how variables strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats make it possible to characterize work in Primary Health Care, to collectively propose strategies for systematizing this process with Family Health teams.

Methods:

methodological research, with 23 participants in direct relationship with Primary Care, including representatives of segments: care (work), management and social control. In one of the three pedagogical meetings, the SWOT matrix was used as a tool for organizational work planning.

Results:

applying the matrix resulted in the following thematic categories: Teamwork and regulations: key elements for interprofessionality at work; Continuing Health Education: path to autonomy and participatory management (co-management).

Final considerations:

the study promoted the systematization of teams’ work, through the mobilization of sectors and distribution of tasks, involving professionals in the co-management of the process.
