Abstract

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze how the family approach is inserted in the setting of the Family and Community Medicine Residency in the city of João Pessoa-PB. Methodology: This is a qualitative exploratory research with a sample  composed of residents of the second year of specialization belonging to 4 educational institutions in the city. Data  were collected through direct interviews with a semi-structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Content Analysis Technique. Results: Eight residents aged between 26 and 43 years, graduated between 2012 and 2019, were interviewed. It was observed that residents understand the importance of the family approach for  comprehensive care to users' health. In their entirety, they agree that it is a fundamental competence for the  formation of family doctors, however, 75% of them consider their knowledge and skills to approach families as  low or average. Conclusion: The analysis of the interviews showed the low use of the family approach in the work  processes of the family health teams. From the perspective of implementing the practice of the family approach,  strategic changes were suggested both for theoretical activities and for the field of practice.
