Abstract

An exploratory, qualitative research, case study type, that aimed to comprehend the reflections of a qualification process of the Primary Health Care in the work process and in the health care offered. Data were collected from July of 2018 to April of 2019, using the observation-participant study tool and semi-structed interviews with health workers of Family Health Unit. The results pointed out the work process organization, physical and mental overload, emphasis on bureaucratic issues in detriment of patient care, difficulties in the process of considering the territory uniqueness. Nevertheless, it provided the opportunity to reflect over the professional practice. Vertical and out of context processes hamper the understanding of the reality and because of that the practice of continuing health education is important so it can give space for dialog and problematize the experiences lived to suit the macro-politics to the local reality.
