ABSTRACT

The role of advanced practice nursing in France is still in its definition phase. While the prefiguration of the model was mainly in primary care, notably through the activities of the Asalée association, the first university graduates are mainly future hospital professionals, with a specialized orientation. Whether working in general or organ medicine, the advanced practice nurse (APN) is committed to making the patient's care experience more fluid, as part of a multi-professional team. Thanks to the acquisition of new skills and a structuring legal framework, collaboration between doctors and APNs is becoming a lace-making process, to best meet local needs.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUNG: The early identification of cognitive disorder is a primary scope, because it could reduce the rate of severe cognitive impairment and thus contribute to reduce healthcare costs in the next future. AIMS: The present paper aimed to build a virtuous diagnostic path of cognitive impairment, highlighting all the professionalism that can serve this purpose. METHODS: The Delphi method was used by the experts, who reviewed the information available during each meeting related to the following topics: early diagnosis of cognitive impairment, definition of Mild Cognitive Impairment, unmet needs in post-stroke patients, critical decision-making nodes in complex patients, risk factors, neuropsychological, imaging diagnosis, blood tests, the criteria for differential diagnosis and the possible treatments. RESULTS: The discussion panels analyzed and discussed the available evidences on these topics and the related items. At each meeting, the activities aimed at the creation of a diagnostic-welfare flow chart derived from the proposal of the board and the suggestions of the respondents. Subsequently, the conclusions of each panel were written, and the study group reviewed them until a global consensus was reached. Once this process was completed, the preparation of the final document was carried out. CONCLUSIONS: Eventually, we built an algorithm for the early diagnosis and treatment, the risk factors, with the possible differences among the different kinds of dementia.

ABSTRACT

Enhanced Rehabilitation after Surgery (ERAS) is a paradigm involving a new organization of surgical care pathways. Its main objective is to maximize the rehabilitation of people undergoing surgery. It is a multimodal approach based on evidence-based data and high-level recommendations, combined with daily assessment of the quality of the patient's surgical pathway using clinical indicators grouped around some twenty recommendations. This implementation requires the involvement of all professionals involved in the care process. The ERAS nurse coordinator is one of them.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Health-care professionals are confronted with patients who wish to end their lives through voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED). During VSED, symptoms such as agitation, thirst or psychological distress may arise, thus making close medical accompaniment necessary. Dealing with these symptoms can put a high burden on palliative care teams. Furthermore, divergent perceptions of the ethical classification of VSED may lead to moral distress. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of experience gained over time on the burden of palliative care professionals while accompanying patients during VSED and to assess the perceptions of coping strategies. METHODS: This is a prospective single-centre study conducted at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Palliative Care at University Hospital Duesseldorf, Germany. At two points in time (T1, T2) one year apart, team members of all professions who were actively involved in the accompaniment were eligible to complete a pretested questionnaire. RESULTS: Team members perceived the symptom complex of psychological distress, anxiety, and agitation to be the most burdensome symptoms for the patients (T1: 28/49, 57.1%; T2: 33/59, 55.9%). Thirst was the second most observed symptom (T1: 17/49, 34.7%, T2: 19/59, 32.2%). These were also the most burdensome symptoms for individual team members. Most team members found there were no general moral concerns. There was a decrease in the perceived importance of support strategies such as ethical counselling (85.7% versus 63.6%). CONCLUSIONS: Accompanying patients during VSED is a challenge for health-care professionals. When comparing T2 to T1, less emphasis lies on the importance of ethical counselling or psychiatric assessment to build a foundation for the accompaniment. Moral and ethical concerns seem to play a minor role. More in-depth studies covering a bigger sample size as well as qualitative studies are needed.

ABSTRACT

Adolescence is a complex period of human development in which young people are susceptible to unhealthy behaviors, such as physical inactivity and an unbalanced diet. This study aimed to analyze the effects of 12 weeks of multi-disciplinary family and individual intervention on cardiometabolic risk parameters in overweight and obese adolescents and compare sub-groups, considering possible differences between sexes (males vs. females vs. intervention approach). Forty-three adolescents (13.73 ± 2.46 years old) of both sexes were divided into two groups: family group (FG) (n = 21; 14.24 ± 2.61 years old) and individual group (IG) (n = 22; 13.23 ± 2.27 years old). The following parameters were evaluated: anthropometry (body weight, height, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), calculation of body mass index (BMI), and waist-hip ratio (WHR)), body composition (fat mass (FM), lean mass (LM), fat-free mass (FFM), skeletal muscle mass (SMM), body fat percentage (BF), and visceral fat), biochemical measures (fasting glucose, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoproteins (LDL-c), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL-c)), and the measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) before and after the interventions. The multi-disciplinary interventions occurred for 12 weeks (three days a week lasting 1 h and 30 min, in which 30 min were dedicated to theoretical interventions (nutrition: nutritional education and psychology: psychoeducation) and 1 h to physical exercises. A time effect was observed for LM, FFM, SMM, FM, and HDL-c, with higher values after intervention and a significant decrease for FM, BF, visceral fat, fasting glucose, TG, TC, LDL-c, and DBP (p < 0.05). However, no group, sub-group, or interaction effects were observed when comparing FG, IG, or sexes (p > 0.05). The responses of the present study show that both multi-disciplinary approaches (family and individual) promoted improvement in the body composition indicators, biochemical markers, and DBP of overweight and obese adolescents independently of the intervention group. Given this finding, health professionals, families, and adolescents could choose the type of intervention based on their preferences.

ABSTRACT

Whether acute or chronic, pain leads to a reorganization of the subject's psychic functioning, and thus to a different interpretation of his or her own painful experience. To transform the experience, pain must be addressed in all its biopsychosocial components, and through the use of various therapeutic devices, with the hope of overcoming it.

ABSTRACT

The specialized nurse in MS is a new profession practiced in MS clinics and outpatients specialized coordination structures. She is part of a specialized multi-professional team. The nurse must master a broad knowledge of the disease and the treatments. Have skills in therapeutic education, communication and coordination. She has a detailed knowledge of the resources of the care offer. The MS nurse thus participates in the assessment of the patient's needs for the implementation of a personalized care plan combining response to medical, paramedical, psychological and social needs.

ABSTRACT

"Poor sleep health" (PSH), defined as reduced amount of sleep and non-restorative sleep, affects cognitive, social and emotional development. Evidence suggests an association of sleep deprivation and mental health problems; however, there are no universal concepts allowing a first-tier screening of PSH at a community level. The focus of this narrative review is to highlight the cultural context of the current medicalized approach to PSH and to suggest social ecological strategies informing new and holistic community-based screening concepts. We present two conceptual screening frameworks; a "medical" and a merged "social emotional wellbeing framework" and combine them utilizing the concept of "ecologies." The first framework proposes the incorporation of "sleep" in the interpretation of "vigilance" and "inappropriate" labeled behaviors. In the first framework, we provide a logic model for screening the myriad of presentations and possible root causes of sleep disturbances as a tool to assess daytime behaviors in context with PSH. In the second framework, we provide evidence that informs screening for "social emotional wellbeing" in the context of predictive factors, perpetuating factors and predispositions through different cultural perspectives. The distinct goals of both frameworks are to overcome training-biased unidirectional thinking and a priori medicalization of challenging, disruptive and/or disobedient behaviors. The latter has been explicitly informed by the critical discourse on colonization and its consequences, spearheaded by First Nations. Our "transcultural, transdisciplinary and transdiagnostic screening framework" may serve as a starting point from which adaptations of medical models could be developed to suit the purposes of holistic screening, diagnosis, and treatment of complex childhood presentations in different cultural contexts.

ABSTRACT

The evaluation unit for pervasive developmental disorders and autism - diagnostic center of Seine-et-Marne "United" has been open for eleven years within the child and adolescent psychiatry department. At the beginning, it welcomed patients as a first intention, or not, at a time when the diagnosis verbalized to the families was not self-evident. It has gradually taken on the role of an evaluation center for complex situations, pushed in this by the political authorities who are trying to structure (to change) the life course of people with autism. The Canadian "SACCADE" model opens up avenues of reflection on the understanding of autism, thus reexamining the place of the caregiver in child psychiatry.

ABSTRACT

Um dos campos de atuação dos profissionais de saúde é a Atenção Básica (AB). A presença de diferentes formações profissionais dentro da AB e a articulação entre esses profissionais é fundamental para a integralidade da assistência prestada à população. As práticas colaborativas e a integralidade do cuidado são habilidades essenciais e comuns a to-dos os profissionais que atuam na AB e na Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Para a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) a Educação Interprofissional em Saúde ocorre quando estudantes e/ou profissionais de duas ou mais áreas aprendem com o outro, sobre o trabalho do outro, e entre si, visando trazer benefícios aos pacientes. Dessa forma, este relato de experiência tem como objetivo relatar a experiência oriunda das atividades de ensino realizadas no estágio acadêmico dos alunos do 7º e 8º períodos do curso de Fisioterapia da Universidade de Ribeirão Preto (UNAERP). As atividades foram desenvolvidas em parceria com as Equipes de Saúde da Família da Unidade Dr. Vinício Plastino, na cidade de Ribeirão Preto, no período de fevereiro de 2018 a dezembro de 2019. Tais atividades são resultantes da implementação de um estágio que tem como foco a atuação do profissional de fisioterapia na AB. Dentro dessa unidade atuaram conjuntamente estudantes dos cursos de Medicina, Farmácia e Fisioterapia. Após o reconhecimen-to do território e da dinâmica da Equipe de Saúde da Família local, o grupo de estagiários iniciou um trabalho de educação em saúde com ações planejadas de forma interprofissional e colaborativa. A partir da percepção das ne-cessidades de saúde da população, foram alinhadas às práticas da disciplina aquelas ações que a equipe realiza no território - cadastramento individual e familiar, territorialização, visita domiciliar e grupos de educação em saúde; acrescidas por aquelas de promoção da saúde específicas da fisioterapia. A experiência no território permitiu: ampliar a vivência dos discentes na ESF, possibilitando a observação e a reflexão sobre o trabalho em equipe nesse contexto; e sensibilizar os acadêmicos para as necessidades em saúde da população e discutir essas necessidades a partir da educação em saúde. Através da vivência, os estudantes da fisioterapia, juntamente com a equipe e alunos de outros cursos da área da saúde puderam redimensionar a importância e a complexidade do trabalho interprofissional na APS e, juntos, desenvolver ou aprimorar habilidades essenciais à sua profissão.

One of the fields of action of health professionals is Primary Health Care (PHC). The presence of different professional formations within PHC and the articulation between these professionals is fundamental for the integrality of the assistance provided to the population. Collaborative practices and comprehensive care are essential skills common to all professionals working in PHC and the Family Health Strategy. For the World Health Organization (WHO), Interprofessional Health Learning occurs when students and/or professionals from two or more areas learn from each other, about the work of the other, and from each other, aiming to bring benefits to patients. Thus, this expe-rience report aims to report the experience arising from teaching activities carried out in the academic internship of students from the 7th and 8th terms of the Physiotherapy course at Universidade de Ribeirão Preto (UNAERP). The activities were developed in partnership with the Family Health Team of Unit Dr. Vinício Plastino, in Ribeirão Preto, from February 2018 to December 2019. Such activities result from the implementation of an internship that focuses on the professional's performance of physiotherapy at PHC. Within this unit, students from the Medicine, Pharmacy, and Physiotherapy courses worked together. After recognizing the territory and the dynamics of the local Family Health Team, the group of interns started a health education work with actions planned in an interprofessional and collaborative way. Based on the perception of the population's health needs, those actions that the team performs in the territory were aligned to the discipline practices - individual and family registration, territorialization, home visits, and health education groups; added by those of health promotion specific to physical therapy. The experience in the territory allowed: expanding the students' experience in the FHS, enabling observa-tion and reflection on teamwork in this context; and sensitizing academics to the health needs of the population and discussing these needs through health education. Through experience, physiotherapy students, along with the team and students from other courses in the health area, could resize the importance and complexity of interprofessional work in PHC and, together, develop or improve skills essential to their profession.

ABSTRACT

Born in 1945 in the United States, the activity of home hospitalization (HH) did not stop developing in France after the 1950s. However, it was not recognized by the regulatory authorities and supervisory bodies until 1970. HH allows patients suffering from serious acute or chronic pathologies to continue to benefit seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, at home, from technical and complex, frequent and coordinated care, inaccessible to city care. It is a central health policy issue in patient care.

ABSTRACT

The Path of Fertile Family (FFP) is a service for couples experiencing infertility, aimed to obtain natural conception, as an alternative to assisted reproductive techniques, developed in 2018 and provided by the Counseling Centre of Centro della Famiglia Foundation, an institute of culture and pastoral care of the Diocese of Treviso, in cooperation with the local socio-health unit. FFP offers to infertile couples a specific multidisciplinary path of care, including the involvement of specific gynecological, andrological, endocrinological, and psycho-relational competences, together with fertility awareness. It represents an "experiential laboratory" for the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of infertility, for understanding relational processes, for the development of operational strategies and above all for the verification of the goodness of a lifestyle that is able to harmonize the couple's project and the family's project, couple satisfaction and parental openness. The setting of the service draws inspiration and reference from three paradigms from which significant ethical choices derive: the ecological perspective of fertility, the relational intimacy of the couple and a multidisciplinary approach. From the three founding paradigms, FFP model has been developed and progressively implemented in order to define a specific FFP Quality of Care Path (QCP) for couple infertility. Although further studies are needed to better clarify the role of each studied variable in a complex monitoring system, we identified for the first time a QCP Path based on 7 variables we present here two illustrative cases: the first one in which a natural conception has been obtained and the second one, in which the focus has been moved from natural conception to the reconstruction of relational competence. Further studies will demonstrate, on large scale, the efficacy of our protocol and of the analyzed variables. Summary: This paper provides an overview of the conceptual and methodological process of implementing the monitoring of the path of infertile couples towards natural conception in harmony with their relational life project. A multi-professional team accompanies couples in overcoming the obstacles to fertility and in the progressive awareness that parenting is not only biological. The result is a range of goals to strive for. The reference paradigms of the service justify the ethical choices of the couple and the team. The operating protocol supports the couple commitment and guides professionals in their effective action if competent and concerted. The variables identified are the monitoring tool that gradually indicates the degree of the path progress.

ABSTRACT

Supporting a cancer patient up until the end of life and then mourning the loss represents a long, and emotionally marking period that is potentially problematic for health professionals. In addition to individual and environmental characteristics-and related to death or to the relationship prior to death-the communication established between the doctor, patient, family members and other health professionals in the team, seems to determine how an individual experiences the loss and mourning process. Acknowledging the suffering of the bereavement without always being able to respond is neither easy nor trivial, requiring modified/appropriate knowledge and skills. The opportunity to share their experiences within a healthcare team and with external health care professionals guarantees an ethical approach, professional enrichment and limits the risk of burnouts. In order to offer guidance and potential solutions, the references specific to cancerology are regularly updated in France by the AFSOS ("French Association of Supportive Cancer Care"). This multidisciplinary effort, including professionals from different professional societies (AFSOS, SFFPO, SFAP) and coordinated by the cancerology network of Nouvelle Aquitaine (Onco-Nouvelle-Aquitaine), has resulted in the recent publication of two complementary resources that address bereavement. The first report provides theoretical guidelines, while the second proposes a more clinical approach on how to support a mourning individual. Thus, with regards to the clinical situation and contextualization of the aforementioned references, this article considers the dimensions of separation, bereavement, and supportive care and further discusses tools to help health professionals protect themselves when affronting these situations.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Conflicts are an inherent part of work within any organisation. They can arise between members of an interdisciplinary team (or between teams representing different departments), between patients and team members/family members, and patients' families and team members. Various conflict situations among employees may occur, therefore it is very important to identify their causes and take preventive or targeted corrective measures. The aim of this study was to review the available literature concerning conflicts arising in ICUs-their types, methods of expression as well as their management and mitigation. In addition, we reviewed the available literature on the impact of the pandemic on the ICU environment caring for COVID-19 patients. METHODS: The databases were searched. Single key words or their combinations using AND or OR operators were entered. Eventually, 15 articles were included in our review, which included two identical papers. RESULTS: Conflicts occurred occasionally or rarely; researchers describing ethical conflicts demonstrated a moderate level of exposure to conflicts. The pandemic created many challenges and ethical dilemmas that are a source of ethical conflict. CONCLUSIONS: As conflict by nature remains inevitable, adequate procedures in conflict management should be developed and the leadership of managing personnel should be reinforced, because team members frequently expect guidance from their supervisors. The importance of training in interpersonal communication and crisis situation management in healthcare should therefore be emphasised.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo refletir sobre a organização do trabalho de Enfermagem no Banco de Leite Humano a partir das ações de cuidado compartilhado com a equipe multiprofissional. Método trata-se de um estudo teórico-reflexivo com base nos conceitos de campo e habitus de Pierre Bourdieu de modo a compreender o modus operandi dos seus agentes no campo e no subcampo da saúde. Resultados evidenciou-se que o Processo de Enfermagem faz parte dos procedimentos de cuidado em saúde nos diferentes espaços de atuação, todavia, é importante pontuar que há uma interdependência dos serviços prestados. Percebem-se a integralidade da proposta e a organização do trabalho do BLH a partir de uma equipe multiprofissional. Para a Enfermagem, o habitus está posto desde a formação inicial dos seus profissionais, pois há o reconhecimento do saber próprio do campo e que as ações são pautadas em conhecimentos teórico-científicos. Conclusão e implicações para a prática o cuidado compartilhado é reconhecido como importante fator de equalização da assistência e demais serviços realizados no campo do BLH. Ao mobilizar os conceitos de Pierre Bourdieu, é possível inferir o habitus nos modos de cuidar, considerando-se, ainda, aquele específico construído ao longo da história da Enfermagem.

Abstract Objective reflect on the organization of nursing work in the Human Milk Bank based on shared care actions with the multi-professional team. Method this is a theoretical-reflexive study based on Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of field and habitus in order to understand the modus operandi of its agents in the field and subfield of health. Results it was evidenced that the Nursing Process is part of the health care procedures in the different performance spaces, however, it is important to point out that there is an interdependence of the services provided. The integrality of the proposal and the organization of the work of the HMB are perceived from a multi-professional team. For nursing, the habitus is set from the initial training of its professionals, since there is recognition of the knowledge of the field and that the actions are based on theoretical and scientific knowledge. Conclusion and implications for practice shared care is recognized as an important factor in equalizing care and other services performed in the field of HMB. By mobilizing the concepts of Pierre Bourdieu, it is possible to infer the habitus in the modes of care, considering also the specific habitus built throughout the history of Nursing.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Most people with dementia (PwD) are cared for at home, with general practitioners (GPs) playing a key part in the treatment. However, primary dementia care suffers from a number of shortcomings: Often, diagnoses are made too late and therapies by GPs do not follow the guidelines. In cases of acute crises, PwD are too often admitted to hospital with adverse effects on the further course of the disease. The aim of this study is to implement and evaluate a new GP-based, complex dementia care model, DemStepCare. DemStepCare aims to ensure demand-oriented, stepped care for PwD and their caregivers. METHODS/DESIGN: In a cluster randomized controlled trial, the care of PwD receiving a complex intervention, where the GP is supported by a multi-professional team, is compared to (slightly expanded) usual care. GPs are clustered by GP practice, with 120 GP practices participating in total. GP practices are randomized to an intervention or a control group. 800 PwD are to be included per group. Recruitment takes place in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. In addition, a second control group with at least 800 PwD will be formed using aggregated routine data from German health insurance companies. The intervention comprises the training of GPs, case management including repeated risk assessment of the patients' care situation, the demand-oriented service of an outpatient clinic, an electronic case record, external medication analyses and a link to regional support services. The primary aims of the intervention are to positively influence the quality of life for PwD, to reduce the caregivers' burden, and to reduce the days spent in hospital. Secondary endpoints address medication adequacy and GPs' attitudes and sensitivity towards dementia, among others. DISCUSSION: The GP-based dementia care model DemStepCare is intended to combine a number of promising interventions to provide a complex, stepped intervention that follows the individual needs of PwD and their caregivers. Its effectiveness and feasibility will be assessed in a formative and a summative evaluation.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to know the feelings and coping strategies used by the multi-professional team in relation to cases of legal interruption of pregnancy. Method: a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study, conducted with 21 professionals in a hospital in the Southern Region of Brazil in September and October 2018. The participants were selected by the snowball technique and answered semi-structured individual interviews. The data were analyzed according to Minayo's operative proposal. Results: two thematic categories were unveiled: feelings related to participation in the process of legal interruption of pregnancy and ways of coping and support service of the institution. The participants revealed feelings ranging from indifference to empathy, and that their main ways of coping are the search for specialized services, conversation groups, family and religion. Conclusion: it was observed that the cases assisted give rise to diverse feelings in the professionals and, according to reports, they do not receive any form of support from the institution to deal with them.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to elaborate and validate face and content of a multi-professional educational booklet for the education of caregivers of patients in use of Home Enteral Nutrition Therapy. Method: a methodological study, conducted in two stages: (1) elaboration of the educational booklet, divided in four phases; and (2) validation of the educational material by 12 experts. A minimum agreement rate of 80% was considered to ensure validation of the material. Results: the material is structured in 16 items that were considered pertinent by the experts. Content assessment by the experts presented a global Content Validity Index of 0.87. The agreement level of the categories assessed varied from 83% to 90%. The suggestions in relation to content, clarity, pertinence and relevance were addressed and modified for the final version of the material. Conclusion: the educational booklet is considered valid regarding content.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo trata-se de um relato de experiência sobre o processo de construção e desenvolvimento de um Seminário de Saúde do Trabalhador (SST), articulado pelos profissionais residentes do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Residência Multiprofissional em Atenção Básica/Saúde da Família da Universidade do Vale do Itajaí - UNIVALI, atuantes do Núcleo Ampliado a Saúde da Família (NASF) pertencente ao Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) do município de Itapema-SC. O SST contou com o apoio e parceria dos setores de Vigilância Sanitária (VS) e Programa de Saúde do Trabalhador (PST) para a sua realização. Objetivou-se por meio deste estudo relatar a construção do SST e o fortalecimento da educação permanente de Itapema a partir da realização do seminário. Como resultado desta experiência, foi realizado o "2º Seminário de Saúde do trabalhador: uma visão ampliada", em comemoração à campanha "Abril Verde" do ano de 2018, contando com aproximadamente 200 participantes durante todo o evento, com direcionamento principal aos trabalhadores dos setores da educação (professores, orientadores educacionais, diretores) e saúde (profissionais da atenção básica, especializada e gestão) do município de Itapema. Com a realização do SST, foi possível diagnosticar as necessidades de saúde dos trabalhadores por meio de um levantamento do itinerário terapêutico, abrindo assim, a possibilidade de cuidado continuado para estes profissionais em seu âmbito de trabalho mediante do apoio institucional realizado pela equipe de residentes. Para alcançar esta produção de cuidado, é fundamental que ocorra o fortalecimento da educação permanente na saúde do trabalhador do município, sendo necessárias estratégias de apoio aos profissionais em seu cotidiano de trabalho, com objetivo de problematizar as necessidades relatadas e alcançar outras práticas de produção de saúde dos trabalhadores.


This study is a report on the experience regarding the process of construction and development of a Seminar on Occupational Health (SST) articulated by the residents of the Post-Graduation Program in Multi-professional Residency in Basic Care/Family Health of the University of the Itajaí Valley - UNIVALI, members of the Expanded Family Health Center (NASF) belonging to the Unified Health System (SUS) in the city of Itapema, in Santa Catarina. The SST had the support and partnership of the Health Surveillance (VS) and Occupational Health Program (PST) sectors for its implementation. The purpose of this study is to report on the construction of the SST and the strengthening of the permanent education of Itapema from the seminar. As a result of this experience, the "2nd Worker's Health Seminar: an expanded vision" was held in commemoration of the "Green April" campaign of 2018, with approximately 200 participants throughout the event, with the participation of teachers, educational counselors, directors and health professionals (basic care, specialized and management professionals) of the city of Itapema. With the SST, it was possible to diagnose the health needs of workers through a survey regarding the therapeutic itinerary and the opening of the possibility of support to those professionals in their work areas. In order to achieve this production of care, it is essential to strengthen the continuous education in the health of workers in Itapema; further strategies are needed to support professionals on their daily work in order to problematize the reported needs and reach other production practices for the health of workers.
