Health promotion competencies in the multidisciplinary residency: capacity for change and health advocacy

Abstract

Health Promotion consists of individual and group strategies to achieve equity and reduce risks related to the Social Determinants of Health. This study aims to analyze the Capacity for Change and Health Advocacy domains of the CompHP in the reality of a Multidisciplinary Residency Program in Family and Community Health. This qualitative exploratory research was conducted with twenty-one participants. Data were interpreted through Discourse Analysis under the lens of Depth Hermeneutics. In the capacity for change, we identified that promoting healthy lifestyles is insufficient to develop autonomous and emancipated individuals in the search for decent living conditions. Concerning health advocacy, residents guide clients on the importance of popular participation in spaces intended for social control in Primary Health Care.
