Finalidades da interdisciplinaridade na residência multiprofissional em saúde no contexto da atenção primária

Abstract

Interdisciplinary practice has the potential to contribute to overcoming a fragmented view of health, finding potential for development in the formation of multidisciplinary residency in health. Thus, the objective was to recognize the aspects of interdisciplinarity in the multidisciplinary residency in health from the perspective of the fields of operation. Exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, which contemplated the perspectives of 13 professionals involved in the organizational and pedagogical process of residency programs. Data were organized according to the content analysis proposal. Four analytical categories were structured, consistent with the purposes of interdisciplinarity: scientific, academic, professional and practical. The transversal presence of all the purposes of interdisciplinarity in this training modality was recognized. However, a greater appreciation of the school purpose was identified, embedded in the training process based on structured competences in the articulation of knowledge, skills and attitudes. At the same time, the scientific purpose proved to be less noticeable in the analyzed content, implying a lower proposition and encouragement of residency programs to this practice. Thus, reflections relevant to collective health are raised by emphasizing interdisciplinarity as a possibility for effective training in health.
