Grupos educativos na atenção básica: revisão integrativa de literatura de 2009 a 2018

Abstract

The objective was to analyze the Brazilian scientific production regarding the work in educational groups carried out in Primary Care between 2009 and 2018, highlighting thepotential and difficulties encountered by professionals and the contributions of the groups from the implementation of the Extended Nucleus of Family Health and Primary Care. This is an Integrative Literature Review that was searched in the Virtual Health Library based on the combination of nine keywords in eight crossings, resulting in 220 studies. Eighteen studies were selected, most used a qualitative approach and addressed health professionals. As for the place of publication, the Brazilian region with the largest contribution was the Northeast, with little explored in the North and Center-West. The journal with the largest contribution was Ciência e Saúde Coletiva. The potential was: exchange of experience between users; performance by a multidisciplinary team; link between professional and user; use of community spaces. As difficulties, the following stand out: inadequate structure; low adhesion of professionals and users; lack of understanding of management; lack of formal referral, periodicity, schedule and action planning. As for the Extended Family Health Center, its work and the practice of the speech therapist in the team were evaluated. Working in groups in Primary Care brings many potentials and difficulties, and it is necessary that professionals are able to deal with such obstacles. It was noticed that where multiprofessional work takes place, good results are obtained, therefore, joint planning is necessary, based on the needs of the population
