[Nursing work in primary health care -- family health care].
This article is part of an integrated research project called The Organization of Primary Health Care (a perspective for nursing practice). Its objective is to investigate the perception of nursing personnel concerning their practice in family-centered primary health care. This article presents a case study focuses on nursing personnel workers from the Family Health Program (PSF), in the city of Batatais. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews with those professionals. Thematic analysis of the data was realized in which initial categorization was done with the help of the Ethnograph software. The topics identified in the workers' narratives were: comprehensiveness, health care, bonding and active case-frading. These themes suggested that the work in family-centered care is difficult, therefore it leads to a more comprehensive health care practice in which decision-making is shared with clientele.
