The workers’ perceptions about the multiprofessional team work at a Psychosocial Care Center in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

This paper discusses the development and results of a research in a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) type II, in the city of Salvador-BA, in order to know the perception of the professionals about their multiprofessional team work, and specially those related to the aspects that facilitate and hinder their work. For this purpose it was adopted a qualitative approach, configured as a case study based on interviews with 21 workers of the institution. The results show that, although multiprofessional work is predominantly appreciated, there are problems of conceptualization and practice inside the team as well as complaints related to the planning conditions and management conditions and to the patterns of investment in the physical structures of the CAPS compared to the high demand of the public for this health service.
