SHARED MANAGEMENT: POPULAR PARTICIPATION AS A STRATEGY RENEWING THE WORK PROCESS OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

Objective: To describe how popular participation has contributed to the renewal of the work process according to the perception of Primary Health Care nursing professionals.Methodology: A descriptive study with a qualitative approach, developed with professional managers from twelve Family Health Strategies in the municipality of Pesqueira-PE, between May and September 2019.Results: Three categories of analysis were structured: Knowledge of Public Policies that reinforce popular participation in health services, Weaknesses in health services that impact on the work process of nursing professionals and Perception of professionals about their work process when including popular participation in their daily practice.Final considerations: Popular participation has demonstrated irrefutable advances in the development of public policies that converge directly with the type of work developed by the professionals who assist them.However, in recent years, this protagonism has diminished, thus creating a margin for political measures that violate constitutional rights to be disseminated throughout society, making it possible to practice care work based on quantitative variables of the care offered, rather than its quality.
