This study aimed to investigate stress coping mechanisms used by workers of 16 Family Health Strategy (FHS) teams in Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. Six workers with scores compatible with the Burnout Syndrome, identified through the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and six workers without the syndrome were interviewed in January and February 2007. In the reports' content analysis, we identified that burned out workers predominantly used individual mechanisms to cope with occupational problems, while non-burned out workers sought collective mechanisms. These findings indicate the importance of interpersonal relationships among FHS team members to cope with occupational stress and the need to develop collective strategies to prevent stress and maintain workers' health.

Introduction: This research alludes to Burnout Syndrome within the team of nursing professionals (auxiliaries, technicians and nurses) of the Family Health Strategy (ESF). Objectives: To correlate the occurrence of Burnout Syndrome and drug use among nursing professionals in the Uberlândia Family Health Strategy. Describe the socio-demographic and work characteristics of nursing professionals. To identify the presence of Burnout Syndrome among nursing professionals. To characterize the profile of drug use among nursing professionals. Method: The research has a descriptive-analytical, quantitative character, performed according to CNS Resolution 466/12. Questionnaires were applied in a sample of 112 professionals in the UBSF's of the city of Uberlândia. Simple and applied statistics were used to collect the data. Results: The study showed that the sample was more predominantly female, from the age group of 30 to 49 years (adult phase) that are characteristics of the vulnerability to the disease. The sectors that includes the largest number of professionals are the South and West sectors. It was identified with the MBI - Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire that only 4.5% of the sample presented Burnout Syndrome, although it was found that 19.05% showed professional exhaustion and 7.9%, depersonalization. These last data allude that a significant part of the professionals are more likely to develop the Syndrome. In fact, the relationship between drug use and job satisfaction was evaluated, which resulted in alcohol being the drug that had a greater predominance of use in relation to other drugs. With analysis of the statistics, it is perceived that this consumption rises to the level of the use of risk, which is very prone to develop dependency. Conclusion: The research alluded well to the problem. Situational leadership is a way for the health care team leader to decrease the propensity for Burnout Syndrome in their employees. After all, Burnout Syndrome makes it impossible for nurses to commit to nursing, because of its consequences reaching not only the professionals, but also the caregivers.

To identify, from the professionals' perspective, restrictive and driving factors for teamwork, in the Family Health Strategy. Descriptive study / qualitative approach, carried out with a Family Health Strategy team, in a municipality in the interior of Minas Gerais. Population constituted of nine professionals working in the team for at least six months, interviewed in August / 2016. Data analysis followed content analysis, thematic modality. Nine professionals participated: six community health agents, one physician, one dentist and one oral health aide. The results that emerged from the interviews were grouped by content affinity, in four thematic units, of which two referred to difficulties (restrictive factors) and two, to facilities (driving factors) for teamwork. Restrictive factors for teamwork were included in thematic units: Inadequate organization and resources and weakened interpersonal relationships. It has been shown that inadequate organization / resources and fragile interpersonal relationships restrict and limit teamwork in the Family Health Strategy. The driving factors for teamwork were gathered in thematic units: In-service training and interpersonal relationships based on appropriate collaboration and communication. It was verified that in-service training and interpersonal relationship, based on collaboration, mutual aid and communication, impelled the said teamwork. Both the restrictive and the driving factors for teamwork are linked to the conditions for carrying out the work and the relationship between team agents. The evidence found in this research can lead to advances in organizational behavior, with emphasis on management practices aimed at ensuring and supporting the effective development of the teamwork modality

AimThis study analyzed the management of intestinal parasitic infections in the Family Health Strategy covering Brazilian urban slums.BackgroundThe Family Health Strategy is the preferred strategy for providing public, community-based primary health care in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). Through this strategy, Family Health teams are responsible for the health of residents of a defined territory, including health promotion, health education and control of neglected tropical diseases such as intestinal parasitic infections.MethodsKnowledge, attitudes and practices surveys were applied with Family Health team members (n=58) and patients (n=571) of an agglomeration of Brazilian urban slums in Rio de Janeiro.FindingsThe management of intestinal parasitic infections and health promotion were limited. Health education was not considered an essential aspect of team members’ work and did not include environmental or social determinants of health. Community health workers and urban slum residents presented similar knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding intestinal parasitic infections.ConclusionsMultiple, competing demands promote prioritization of the aspects of care where curative, biomedical activities predominate over prevention and an integral approach to health. However, the complex processes involving the cycle of poverty and disease go beyond the biomedical, limiting the potential for health in urban slums. Implications include a need to better prepare health professionals for primary health care services through reflection on local concerns and the social determinants of health, highlighting the importance of territorialized care and permanent education.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the work process of the Family Health Support Center and identify the repercussions on professionals’ quality of life at work. Method: A descriptive-exploratory qualitative case study conducted with workers from Family Health Support Centers. The content analysis technique was used to analyze the resulting empirical material in the light of the theoretical reference of Work Psychodynamics. Results: Twenty workers participated in the focus groups. This study discusses the category of ‘suffering’ by the chosen theoretical perspective, which derives from interpersonal relationships and teamwork, the feeling of not belonging, lack of infrastructure for work, violence and vulnerability present in the territory. Conclusion: Group union and collaborative integration among workers can be strategies for the minimization of suffering at work in the context of the Family Health Strategy.
