The nursing consultation on Family Health Strategy: the reality of a health district
Abstract
Aim: to discuss the flaws and limitating aspects for the accomplishment of the nursing consutation practice in the context of Family Health Strategy. Method: it is a qualitative study, converging-assistential, in which the data were collected from May to June/2012 through structured interviews with 20 nurses who work in the Family Health Strategy of a Sanitary District of the South. The data analysis involved processes of apprehension, synthesis, theorization and transference, resulting in three categories: perception of nurses about nursing consultation; the dialectic of nursing consultation between team members and users; the daily work. Results: showed that the nursing consultation is an important health education tool, which enhances a link between the professional and the user, enables the development of autonomy and professional independence. Final Considerations: Although the role of the nursing consultation praxis of nurses is significantly recognized, there is still a number of barriers to their implementation
