Educação popular e saúde: o trabalho educativo dos agentes comunitários de saúde em Damião – PB – elos entre o saber científico e o saber cotidiano.

Abstract

The process of education and health, for a long time, has been the subject of studies by many researchers seeking to understand how this relationship may be present in our lives. We understand that communities embedded in public services need to have participatory action in the policy development process, not just simply listen and be present , but building , collaborating and mediating the actions of public everyday knowledge . That is why we feel the need to develop a research project that would examine the subject as a being able to know and understand their daily lives in relation to the politics of health care. For this we propose a methodological review of the literature on the subject, as well as a field survey of a participant observation approach to understanding the dynamics of work of community health workers from the city of Damião - PB and the relationships established between propositions of policies for primary health care and community dynamics of everyday life. From the analysis of notes taken in the field notebook found that ACHs play an educational role of paramount importance and can perform a spontaneous approach to health education into the daily lives of families.
