Apoio matricial e núcleos de apoio à saúde da família: uma revisão integrativa.

Abstract

The Support Matrix (ApM) is a proposal of innovation of the organization of the work process in health in pursuit of integrality. The implementation of Centers of Family Health Support (NASF) by the Ministry of Health in 2008 is a milestone in the adoption of ApM in Primary Care. Since the implementation of this support is recent in public health, this article proposes to conduct an integrative literature review with what has been published in relation to ApM and NASF. The objectives of this article are, therefore, classify the findings according to criteria pre-established, organize in frames the contents of the publications about this theme, construct a temporal sequence of theoretical developments and major events of the issue and identify the interrelationships and tensions between publications. It is an integrative literature review with a qualitative and exploration approach of scientific productions collected from June 2011 to August 2013, with the descriptors "Support Matrix", "NASF" and "Core Health Support Family", available in the following digital banks of publications: Virtual Health Library, Portal of Journals of Center for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel and Google Scholar. Construction of integrative literature review was conducted in accordance with the six stages proposed by Botelho; Cunha; Macedo (2011). We conclude that the Matrix Support suffered remarkable scientific advance, spurred by the creation of NASF, but it is necessary to deepen the discussion of this theme from the analysis of experiments and attempts of implement the ApM in different contexts.
