Practical Implications

Community health is by definition multidisciplinary, and the assumption that there is mutual respect and co-operation within these disciplines is integral to its philosophy. Many members of a community health 'team' are, however, also professionals, and as such expect to enjoy the traditional prestige and autonomy which is associated with professionalism. Nevertheless, this might be problematic, as there are ideological differences between professionalism and community health values, which is exacerbated by the number of different professions involved. The issue is further complicated by the use of modern management techniques in the public sector by contemporary governments, where the philosophies which inform these techniques can be inherently incompatible with professionalism and community health values. A degree of compromise by professionals and management must be reached if they are to coexist and function effectively in community health. The sociology of the professions and the ideologies of professionalism, community health and the organisational structures encountered in community health are reviewed here. It is suggested that greater awareness of these ideologies and their practical implications may result in more flexibility in the association of occupations which constitute community health.

Politically Active

The socioeconomic policies of Argentina's Military Junta, in power since March 1976, have led to a sharp impoverishment of the vast majority of the population. In the health sector, facilities which previously were public are being transferred to the private sector, and public hospitals formerly providing free services to the population now charge patients for the care received. As a necessary counterpart to these unpopular measures, a regime of terror has been waged against members of the health team—both those politically active and those considered potentially subversive, particularly the psychiatrists and workers in community health. Differences between the Argentinian situation and previous European fascist patterns are noted, and the possibility of use of the “Argentinian model” in other capitalist countries in crisis is discussed.

Semistructured Interviews

Light technologies in health approximate professionals and users and serve as important tools in the work of Community Health Agents to know the families' difficulties and develop strategies. In this study, the aim was to get to know the concepts of welcoming and bonding of Community Health Agents in a city in the Northwest of Rio Grande do Sul and their use in care actions. This qualitative study involved 11 participants. Semistructured interviews were chosen for the data collection and thematic content analysis for data analysis. The study revealed welcoming as receptive acts and words and bonding as a relation of friendship, trust and commitment. These technologies were mainly used during home visits, when they exercise active listening and provide orientations. The need to equip the Community Health Agents and the health team is evidenced with a view to enhancing the understanding of the light technologies and acknowledging their relevance in health care.
