Objective:

to analyze the results of an Interprofessional Education activity in the Occupational Health field.

Method:

this is an Action Research, which encompassed the implementation and evaluation stages of the activity. It was developed in a Public Higher Education Institution through 15 meetings, totaling 60 hours. It had 16 participants, five undergraduate students, three graduate students, five teachers and three health professionals, representing the areas of Nursing, Physical Education, Physiotherapy, Gerontology and Psychology. Data regarding the implementation of the activity were collected in a field diary and analyzed through Thematic Analysis. An evaluation form constructed exclusively for this purpose was applied, whose data were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis.

Results:

three thematic categories were identified: (1) Comprehensive care; (2) Work as a social determinant of the health-disease process; and (3) Interprofessional teamwork. The activity of Interprofessional Education was positively evaluated by the participants, who pointed out the contributions of this strategy in the construction of knowledge directed to Occupational Health.

Conclusion:

the activity of Interprofessional Education proved to be possible and important in the context of the formation of health professions to strengthen occupational health care.
