O ofício no Consultório na Rua: os “nós” do trabalho em saúde

Abstract

This study focuses on the work developed by the Street Clinic (CnaR) teams in the context of Primary Health Care. The objective is to discuss the process of implementing this policy since the publication of Ordinance No. 122 of 2011 and to analyze the relationship between the operating regulations and the practices of the Street Clinic teams, seeking to map the main factors that affect the performance of this work. This theoretical research study uses a narrative literature review to identify clues about the work carried out by the Street Clinic teams in Brazil, their prescriptions, mobilizations, what is expected of this team, the possibilities created in the daily work, among others. We use references from the field of social history of work to establish possible dialogues with the processes of subjectivation that construct workers' identities, as well as the references of the Brazilian Health Reform to discuss the foundation and implementation of the Unified Health System as an unfolding of a societal project. The results indicate that there is a predominance and incidence of articles that discuss the reality of work in capitals and metropolitan regions, mainly in the southeast region of the country, involving discussions of the nuances, differences, difficulties and mobilizations of workers seeking to develop health care for the homeless population.
