Colaboração interprofissional no programa de educação pelo trabalho para a saúde/interprofissionalidade

Abstract

The study is about Interprofessional Collaboration in the Work Education Program for work in Health (PET-Saúde) Interprofessionality (IP), and the general objective was to analyze how the development of interprofessional collaboration occurs in PET-Saúde IP. The specific objectives were: to describe characteristics of PET-Saúde IP; to analyze elements of the interprofessional collaborative dimension contained in PET-Saúde IP projects; to describe interprofessional collaboration (IPC) developed by PET-Saúde IP preceptors and tutors; to analyze dimensions of IPC in PET-Saúde IP activities. This was a qualitative research, which scenario was composed by five Federal Universities that develop activities of PET-Saúde IP in Northeastern Brazil and that participated in the program in the calls for proposals numbers 14/2013 and 13/2015 on the same campus. The sources of information were five PET-Saúde IP projects and 44 participants – tutors and preceptors – who worked in PET-Saúde IP for more than 12 months. After approval by the research ethics committee, information was collected between July and October 2020, using a document matrix and an online questionnaire. The documents and the answers to the questionnaires via Google Forms®, with the help of the WebQDA® software, were treated by content analysis and conducted by the theoretical framework of the collaboration model of D'Amour and other authors. The analysis categories were: 1) Characteristics of PET-Saúde IP; 2) elements of IPC in projects of education through work for health; 3) IPC in Health: performance of preceptors and tutors in PET-Saúde; 4) collaborative dimensions of interprofessionality: inductive practices in health training programs. The results reveal that the development of IPC occurs in PET-Saúde IP in a program that has characteristics related to inter-institutionality, connectivity among participants, and articulation between courses, being constituted by experienced and qualified nurses who acted as preceptors and tutors in the elaboration and realization of the program's action plan. The elements that make up the dimensions of IPC contained in the projects are related to doing together to produce a collective action. The IPC developed by preceptors and tutors appears in the identification and sharing of common objectives, internalization of interdependence among professionals, and adjustments to carry out the IPC. It is present in PET-Saúde IP and occurs in a favorable environment, in which there is availability for interaction between health professionals and students, production of collective actions and adjustments of behaviors for a collaborative practice. The dimensions of IPC in PET-Saúde IP activities are connected to instructional, formative and experiential practices, standing out more in the relational scope. It is concluded that the IPC in PET-Saúde was planned and applied with greater emphasis on the dimensions related to interactions and internalization of collective action, being necessary to advance to operational and organizational actions.
