Interpersonal relations, teamwork, and the impact on primary care

The creation and affirmation of professional links aims to develop interpersonal relations in work teams, understanding their reality in order to foster the professionals' individual growth and that of the team as a whole, thereby facilitating conflict resolution. The current study aimed to reclaim the work relations in a multidisciplinary team in order to form healthy professional links. A convergent care study was performed using a constructivist qualitative methodology. The study was conducted in a Family Health Unit located on the periphery of the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The study subjects were nine health professionals: two physicians, three nurses, three nurse technicians, and one social worker, plus two undergraduate nursing students. It was thus possible to witness an experience with the Theory of Professional Links, providing the group with moments of reflection on the dynamics of multidisciplinary team relations and allowing the study to achieve its objective.
