CUIDADOS NA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA EM SAÚDE: INTEGRANDO VIGILÂNCIA, CLÍNICA E HUMANIZAÇÃO Primary in Health Care: Integrating Surveillance, Clinical Practice, and Humanization

This work originated in the theoretical-practical integration of activities, with emphasis on Primary Health Care, of the Integrated Health Residency at the School of Public Health, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The proposal was to conduct a case study about a family, covered at a Family Health Strategy unit, discussing the topic of immunizations based on a real and possible context. The method used was the Singular Therapeutic Project proposal, from the National Policy on Humanization, Ministry of Health, Brazil. The data were collected between November and December 2011. Results demonstrated the potential of Primary Health Care working through the intersection of the techno-care models of surveillance, clinical practice, and humanization. Among the instruments of intervention, home visits appeared as a trigger for enhancement of health practices in the coverage area. It was concluded that the health attention offered must go over the symptoms or the clinical, crossing the users’, families’ and community’s ways of life. Thus the need for an interdisciplinary health team able to connect the service, social, and affective networks.
