Vinhetas na vivência de uma estudante do Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para Saúde (Pet-Saúde).

Abstract

The Education through Work for Health Program (PET-Health) is a strategy for implementing changes in the health education of future professionals through collaborative practices between tutorial groups that constitute an internal structure in the Family Health Strategy. Objective: To reflect on personal experiences during the Health Education and Work Program (PET-Saúde) at the Family Health Unit “Rosália Henrique de Alencar Lima” and the Family Health Support Center (NASF) of a graduate student in nutrition. Methodology: This is a study with a qualitative design based on the experience of an undergraduate student in the nutrition course, at the Center for Education and Health (CES) at the Federal University of Campina Grande. The scenarios of the experience are identified as PET-Saúde, the health service and its municipality. For recording and analysis, the vignette was adopted, generated from records made by the researcher taking into account his impressions of what was experienced/observed, based on the organization of his notes written in a field diary or through the recording of speeches, right after the situations observed in loco. a To understand the meanings involved, the notes contained in the field notebook were used during the PET-Saúde “Management and Assistance” program from August 2022 to August 2023. This material was the source of the analysis. Five vignettes were produced and analyzed with the themes: “Vignette 1 - Expectations and being in process: path of my training", "Vignette 2 - Challenges of social mobilization and the importance of collective actions in the unit", "Vignette 3 - Management and collective work in PET- Health", "Vignette 4 - Developing skills" and "Vignette 5 - Getting lost and how to find yourself again? Dismantling of multiprofessional teams in Primary Care and how to Re-EXIST”. The vignettes were reduced and condensed in order to highlight the themes identified as priorities given the current reality of dismantling the NASF within health units and how professionals and students find a way to bring healthcare to the population even in precarious situations of promotion and health prevention. Results: The insertion of teaching practices in health services by facilitating the integration of students in the health work process, presenting the reality of scenarios in the Brazilian health system and showing that health training is a path that depends on integration between teaching-service-community and permeates the personal aspects of students and their social, economic, cultural, population contexts and involves everything related to the educational institution itself. The conditions for realizing, maintaining and even expanding teaching-service and community integration, life and the single health system involve many challenges, including aspects linked to financing, the diversification of equipment and its quantity has a great influence on everyday life in small municipalities. Final considerations: The experience in the PET-Saúde program is extremely important in the training of future health professionals as it adds and enables greater interaction and collaboration in effective teamwork in the public health service and provides the development of teaching-service integration -community through the SUS, the family health strategy (ESF) and the family health support center (NASF), where the partnership between UFCG and the Municipal Health Departments strengthens the link between services, education, health training and reflection on multidisciplinary work and Primary Health Care in offering and promoting quality health to the population.
