Application of the Team Emergency Assessment Measure Scale in undergraduate medical students and interprofessional clinical teams: validity evidence of a Spanish version applied in Chile.

Background: Teamwork is one of the competencies necessary for physicians to work effectively in health systems and is a competency that can be developed with simulation in professionals and medicine students. The Team Emergency Assessment Measurement (TEAM) was created to evaluate the non-technical performance of team members during resuscitation events in real teams. The TEAM scale includes items to assess leadership, teamwork, situational awareness, and task management. An objective evaluation tool in Spanish is valuable for training health professionals at all undergraduate and continuing education levels. This study aimed to generate evidence of the validity of the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) in Spanish to measure the performance of medical students and adult, pediatric, and obstetric emergency clinical teams in simulated emergencies as a self-assessment tool. Methods: To develop the Spanish version of the instrument, a forward and backward translation process was followed by independent translators, native and fluent in English and Spanish, and a review by a panel of Chilean experts comprising three trained simulation instructors to verify semantics and cultural equivalence. High-fidelity simulations with debriefing were conducted with 5th-year medical students, in which students and instructors applied the Spanish version of the TEAM scale. In the second stage, adult, pediatric, and obstetric emergency management simulations were conducted using the TEAM scale for real clinical teams as a self-assessment tool. Findings: By applying the overall TEAM scale to medicine students and clinical teams, Cronbach's alpha was 0.921. For medical students' self-assessment, we obtained Cronbach's alpha of 0.869. No significant differences were found between the overall scores and the scores by dimensions evaluated by instructors and students (p > 0.05). In the case of clinical team training, Cronbach's alpha was 0.755 for adult emergency teams, 0.797 for pediatric emergency teams, and 0.853 for obstetric emergency teams. Conclusion: The validated instrument is adequate for evaluating teamwork in medical student simulations by instructors and peers and for self-assessment in adult, pediatric, and obstetric emergency clinical teams.

Delivering effective combined treatments in mental health settings with difficult-to-treat patients: A bipolar case study illustrating the role of teamwork and other mediators.

Even in well-delivered treatments, a significant proportion of patients with severe diagnoses will not achieve sustained remission. For example, research demonstrates that in Bipolar II disorder, while psychological interventions combined with pharmacotherapy yield much better results than pharmacotherapy alone, relapse rates remain very high. In this article, we show the successful treatment of Mrs. C., who was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder and fell into the non-responders. The treatment integrated a novel approach grounded on a cognitive-behavioral theory with a systemic perspective. The psychotherapist, the psychiatrist, and a family therapist composed the teamwork and delivered the treatment in three phases. In the first phase, the psychotherapist conjointly with the psychiatrist aimed at reducing symptoms. In the second phase, the psychotherapist and the family therapist addressed the dysfunctional relationship patterns that negatively reinforced emotional dysregulation. Finally, in the third phase, the aim was to consolidate the achievements, changes, and good outcomes.

The effect of interprofessional simulation practice on collaborative learning: A randomized controlled trial.

This study examined the effect of simulation on readiness for collaborative practice and learning using a randomized-controlled trial design that used the same education protocol with interprofessional and uniprofessional groups. The sample consisted of 43 students from four different majors. The students were assessed with the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale, and a care plan measurement instrument. The interprofessional group showed a small increase (0.1 ± 0.43; p = .02) in readiness for teamwork and collaboration; the uniprofessional group showed a smaller increase for teamwork and collaboration (0.04 ± 0.31; p = .04) and for patient-centred care (0.0 ± 0.35; p = .01). The enriching work of interprofessional learning was evident within the care plan activity, suggesting that interprofessional simulation is an effective learning method for interprofessional education.

External validity of teamwork and leadership behavior in academic labs: evidence from samples in Peru and the U.S.

In this investigation, we tested hypotheses concerning how external validity, in relation to leadership and teamwork, was affected as participants moved from organizational to academic settings. Participants consisted of working business students (N = 159) from two countries, Peru and the United States, who adopted leader/teammate roles across settings. Results indicated that (a) transactional leadership and teamwork behavior demonstrated in organizational contexts were predictive of similar behavior in academic contexts, (b) the cultural setting of the study moderates the carry over effect of teamwork and leadership behavior from organizations to laboratories, and (c) for several leadership and teamwork behaviors, role identity and self-awareness incrementally added to the prediction of similar behaviors in academic contexts. We discuss the implications of our findings for enhancing the external validity of laboratory studies in applied psychology and for instruction of teamwork and leadership in academe.

Abstract: Introduction: Interprofessional Education (IPE) initiatives are being increasingly seen on the global stage with the aim of generating innovations and solving problems in healthcare settings. Although timid, Brazil has witnessed the implementation of its precepts in search of more collaborative practices, especially aligned with the guidelines and precepts of the Unified Health System (SUS). Objective: To analyse the implementation of IPE and the development of collaborative competencies in the training of students and in the practice of preceptors and teachers who participated in the PET-Sáude/Interprofessional programme of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV). Methods: This is qualitative research that used document analysis as a data collection technique. Four documents were analysed: the public notice for the programme, the registration document and the partial and final reports. Results: Three aspects were highlighted in the documents evaluated: "fulfillment of the objectives", "challenges for the implementation of IPE" and "development of collaborative competencies". Accordingly, it was noted that, in general, the programme objectives were met, despite the challenges imposed by the hegemonic model of uniprofessional training and the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the development of fundamental competencies for comprehensive healthcare practices was observed, such as, for example: interprofessional communication, teamwork, conflict resolution, active and qualified listening, collaborative leadership, clarity of roles. Conclusion: Despite the setbacks, IPE was applied and collaborative competencies were developed, which favour interprofessional practice and effective teamwork in healthcare setttings.

Factores organizativos que influyen en el desempeño de una unidad de cuidados intensivos / Organizational Factors Influencing the Performance of An Intensive Care Unit

Algunas deficiencias vinculadas a la organización laboral en el proceso de atención médica repercuten en la supervivencia general, la del paciente crítico y en varias afecciones muy graves como la sepsis y el síndrome de distrés respiratorio agudo, entre otros indicadores importantes de las unidades de cuidados intensivos. Este trabajo tiene el objetivo de reflexionar y favorecer el debate sobre los factores organizativos determinantes intermediarios de la calidad de la atención en las terapias intensivas, porque suelen ser desestimados a pesar de ser modificables las fisuras que dichos factores producen en ella. El trabajo en equipo, la disciplina, el liderazgo, la labor investigativa, el humanismo, la docencia, el trabajo multidisciplinario, la superación profesional y el apoyo administrativo son factores fundamentales para que un grupo de trabajo de salud alcance un buen desempeño. A pesar del gran impacto que, en general, la tecnología y el grado de desarrollo socioeconómico ejercen a favor de la salud existen muchos aspectos no vinculados a estos que son decisivos para lograr buenos indicadores de calidad(AU)

Some deficiencies linked to the work organization in the medical care process have an impact on overall survival, that of the critical patient and on several very serious conditions such as sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome, among other important indicators of intensive care units. This work aims to reflect and promote the debate on the organizational factors that determine the quality of care in intensive care units, because they are usually dismissed despite the fissures that these factors produce in it are modifiable. Teamwork, discipline, leadership, research work, humanism, teaching, multidisciplinary work, professional improvement and administrative support are fundamental factors for a health work group to achieve good performance. Despite the great impact that, in general, technology and the degree of socioeconomic development exert in favor of health, there are many aspects not linked to them that are decisive to achieve good quality indicators(AU)

Patient Safety Culture in Latin American Hospitals: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Adverse events in hospitals are prevented through risk reduction and reliable processes. Highly reliable hospitals are grounded by a robust patient safety culture with effective communication, leadership, teamwork, error reporting, continuous improvement, and organizational learning. Although hospitals regularly measure their patient safety culture for strengths and weaknesses, there have been no systematic reviews with meta-analyses reported from Latin America. PURPOSE: Our systematic review aims to produce evidence about the status of patient safety culture in Latin American hospitals from studies using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC). METHODS: This systematic review was guided by the JBI guidelines for evidence synthesis. Four databases were systematically searched for studies from 2011 to 2021 originating in Latin America. Studies identified for inclusion were assessed for methodological quality and risk of bias. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including meta-analysis for professional subgroups and meta-regression for subgroup effect, were calculated. RESULTS: In total, 30 studies from five countries-Argentina (1), Brazil (22), Colombia (3), Mexico (3), and Peru (1)-were included in the review, with 10,915 participants, consisting primarily of nursing staff (93%). The HSOPSC dimensions most positive for patient safety culture were "organizational learning: continuous improvement" and "teamwork within units", while the least positive were "nonpunitive response to error" and "staffing". Overall, there was a low positive perception (48%) of patient safety culture as a global measure (95% CI, 44.53-51.60), and a significant difference was observed for physicians who had a higher positive perception than nurses (59.84; 95% CI, 56.02-63.66). CONCLUSIONS: Patient safety culture is a relatively unknown or unmeasured concept in most Latin American countries. Health professional programs need to build patient safety content into curriculums with an emphasis on developing skills in communication, leadership, and teamwork. Despite international accreditation penetration in the region, there were surprisingly few studies from countries with accredited hospitals. Patient safety culture needs to be a priority for hospitals in Latin America through health policies requiring annual assessments to identify weaknesses for quality improvement initiatives.

Implementación de membrana de oxigenación extracorpórea. Relato de experiencia / Implementation of extracorporeal oxygenation membrane. Experience report

Se incorporó en la institución un recurso que se utiliza hace algunos años en la Argentina, pero con la pandemia tomó vital importancia; se trata de la Membrana de Oxigenación Extracorpórea, (ECMO). Es una modalidad de apoyo vital de alta complejidad y costo, que se utiliza en pacientes con insuficiencia respiratoria o cardiaca severas. ECMO consiste en un circuito de circulación extracorpórea que permite la eliminación del dióxido de carbono y la oxigenación de la sangre. Hay dos tipos de circuitos: el veno-arterial, en el cual el circuito toma la sangre venosa de las cavas, y el atrio derecho, se oxigena y luego se la regresa al circuito mayor a través de la aorta, y el circuito veno-venoso, que toma la sangre venosa de la vena cava inferior y la regresa oxigenada al atrio derecho. La implementación del ECMO en el Sanatorio Allende, exigió cambios importantes de manera estructurada e integrada con un plan multidisciplinario dirigido al cuidado de los pacientes. Donde el enfoque de la enfermera hacia la persona en una situación crítica sometida a ECMO se considera determinante, siendo este profesional esencial para el proceso. El equipo de salud es responsable de una presencia continua para monitorear, vigilar y prevenir complicaciones, así como del manejo y coordinación de la atención. Se desarrolló el protocolo de cuidado, haciendo hincapié en las fortalezas, debilidades y oportunidades. La importancia de este nuevo desafío en el servicio de Unidad Coronaria radica en adquirir nuevos conocimientos, tecnologías, unificar cuidados de enfermería en post del bienestar, la recuperación y la seguridad del paciente[AU]

A resource that has been used for some years in Argentina was incorporated into the institution, but with the pandemic it took on vital importance; This is ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation). It is a life support modality of high complexity and cost, which is used in patients with severe respiratory or heart failure. ECMO consists of an extracorporeal circulation circuit that allows the elimination of carbon dioxide and oxygenation of the blood. There are two types of circuits: the veno-arterial, in which the circuit takes venous blood from the cavas and the right atrium, oxygenates it and then returns it to the larger circuit through the aorta, and the veno-arterial circuit. venous, which takes venous blood from the inferior vena cava and returns it oxygenated to the right atrium. The implementation of ECMO at the Sanatorio Allende requires important changes in a structured and integrated manner with a multidisciplinary plan aimed at patient care. Where the nurse's approach to the person in a critical situation subjected to ECMO is considered decisive, this professional being essential for the process. The health team is responsible for a continuous presence to monitor, monitor and prevent complications, as well as the management and coordination of care. The protocol was developed, emphasizing the strengths, weaknesses and The importance of this new challenge in the Coronary Unit service lies in acquiring new knowledge, technologies, unifying nursing care in post-wellness, recovery and patient safety[AU]

Do ato médico ao ato analítico: considerações sobre o psicanalista no hospital / From the medical act to the analytical act: considerations about the psychoanalyst in the hospital / Del acto médico al acto analítico: consideraciones sobre el psicoanalista en el hospital

Este artigo pretende abordar as consequências que podem ser extraídas da presença do psicanalista no trabalho em hospital, a partir da experiência clínica em uma instituição pública. Partindo da predominância do discurso médico na equipe, pretendemos trazer o que se passa na escuta analítica e, na equipe, por uma transferência de trabalho. Em meio aos protocolos, o ato analítico aposta em fazer surgir o sujeito. A partir de fragmentos clínicos, interrogamos quais foram os efeitos da presença do analista. O que sua presença na equipe veio a atestar? A análise dos fragmentos vem demonstrar que a presença do psicanalista não conferiu um saber a mais, mas, ao contrário, com seu menos de saber pode operar fazendo girar os discursos dominantes na cena médica. Diferentemente do ato médico, que aponta para o tratamento e a cura voltados para um corpo lido em sua dimensão biológica, o ato analítico tem valor de intervenção significante, é aí que ele produz efeitos no tratamento.

This article intends to address the consequences that can be extracted for the presence of the psychoanalyst in hospital work, from the clinical experience in the public institution. Starting from the predominance of medical discourse in the team, we intend to bring what happens in the analytical listening and in the transference of teamwork. From clinical fragments, we ask what the effects of the analyst's presence were. What did his presence on the team attest to? The analysis of the fragments demonstrates that the psychoanalyst's presence did not confer an extra knowledge, but, on the contrary, with his lesser knowledge he can operate by turning the dominant discourses in the medical scene. Unlike the medical act, which points to treatment and cure aimed at a body read in its biological dimension, the analytical act has significant intervention value, this is where it produces effects in the treatment.

Este artículo pretende abordar las consecuencias que pueden extraerse de la presencia del psicoanalista en el trabajo en hospital, a partir de la experiencia clínica en una institución pública. Partiendo del predominio del discurso médico en el equipo, pretendemos aportar lo que sucede en la escucha analítica y en el equipo, a partir de la transferencia del trabajo. En medio de los protocolos, el acto analítico apuesta por hacer aparecer al sujeto. A partir de fragmentos clínicos, preguntamos cuáles fueron los efectos de la presencia del analista. ¿Qué atestiguó tu presencia en el equipo? El análisis de los fragmentos demuestra que la presencia del psicoanalista no le confirió un conocimiento adicional, sino que, por el contrario, con su menor conocimiento puede operar girando los discursos dominantes en la escena médica. A diferencia del acto médico, que apunta al tratamiento y la cura dirigida a una lectura corporal en su dimensión biológica, el acto analítico tiene un valor de intervención significante, aquí es donde produce efectos en el tratamiento.

Team emergency assessment measure (TEAM) of non-technical skills: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the TEAM tool.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to conduct the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the original Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) tool into the Brazilian Portuguese language and investigate the internal consistency, inter-rater reliability, and concurrent validity of this new version (bp-TEAM). METHODS: Independent medical translators performed forward and backward translations of the TEAM tool between English and Portuguese, creating the bp-TEAM. The authors selected 23 videos from final-year medical students during in-situ emergency simulations. Three independent raters assessed all the videos using the bp-TEAM and provided a score for each of the 12 items of the tool. The authors assessed the internal consistency and the inter-rater reliability of the tool. RESULTS: Raters assessed all 23 videos. Internal consistency was assessed among the 11 items of the bp-TEAM from one rater, yielding a Cronbach's alpha of 0.89. inter-item correlation analysis yielded a mean correlation coefficient rho of 0.46. Inter-rater reliability analysis among the three raters yielded an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.86 (95% CI 0.83‒0.89), p < 0.001. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the TEAM tool presented acceptable psychometric properties, similar to the original English version.

Teamwork skills in higher education: is university training contributing to their mastery?

Teamwork skills are considered essential for personal, academic and professional achievement, so universities are increasingly integrating them into their syllabuses. However, little is known about how some specific features of students and their educational development can affect their acquisition. Accordingly, this study aims to fill this gap and describe higher education students' mastery of teamwork skills and its relation to certain socio-academic variables (gender, academic year and grade point average-GPA). With the aim of determining the level of teamwork skills among university students, an observational, transversal descriptive study was designed with an intentional sample of Spanish university students. The sample is made up of 615 social science degree students. The results suggest significant gender differences, highlighting that female students outdid their male counterparts in most teamwork skills, except leadership. Likewise, students' skills improved as they progressed in their studies, particularly those skills related to adaptability and decision-making. Finally, a positive relationship was observed between teamwork skills and GPA, except for interpersonal development. A regression analysis confirmed the influence of both academic year and GPA for women whilst no effect was detected in the case of men. Based on these results, it is suggested to make changes in university education programmes to compensate for the influence of socio-academic factors and benefit from the most positive features of each gender regarding teamwork to achieve an equal and fair higher education.

Toward a Change in Our Work in Surgery: Collaborative Work, Coaching, and Teamwork.

Background: Until now, working with others has been shaped by a style where 1 person made the main decisions at the top of the hierarchical pyramid. These days this one-directional model no longer makes sense. That is why we need to change to a collaborative style. Methods: An overview on the change in our surgical work and definitions on the collaborative work, coaching, and teamwork will be discussed and analyzed. Results and Discussion: The system is defined by the boundaries that we set; they can often be the type of activity to be carried out or the way it is achieved. Collaboration means accompanying processes with a clear idea of what needs to be achieved and what values need to be followed. In work contexts that are globalized, diverse, virtual, and made up of highly educated specialists, isolation and a lack of collaboration are common. We would like to highlight four of them: (1) Signature relationship practices: The importance of building relationships on the basis of "who I am," not "what I am." (2) Ambidextrous leadership: Collaborative work needs to concentrate first on the task and on performing it effectively. (3) Mentoring versus "tit-for-tat culture": Collaborative work helps the design of individual and team identities. (4) Training in relationship skills: for communication and conflict resolution. Conclusions: Working on relationship building conversations generates a systemic view that allows the creation of a communication context that facilitates collaborative work. They are all key skills to achieve a collaborative culture on work.

Suas e trabalho profissional: frágeis gritos e muitos sussurros / Suas and professional work: fragile cries and many whispers

Este artigo se ocupa do significado da ação interprofissional no âmbito da atenção à população na efetivação de uma política social. Tem por objetivo identificar se o desempenho de uma profissão, no trabalho em equipe, destaca o poder exercido por essa profissão sobre outras, e se distancia da articulação interprofissional para alcance do objetivo comum: o direito do cidadão. Para exame empírico da questão refere-se a enquete realizada durante pandemia da COVID-19 e pesquisas realizadas pelo Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre Seguridade e Assistência Social da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (NEPSAS/PUC-SP).

This article deals with the meaning of interprofessional action in the context of care for the population in the implementation of a social policy. It aims to identify whether the performance of a profession, in a teamwork, highlights the power exercised by that profession over others, and distances itself from the interprofessional articulation to achieve the common objective, the citizen's right. For the empirical examination of the question, the survey carried out during the Covid pandemic 19 and research carried out by Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Seguridade e Assistência Social at Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (NEPSAS/PUC-SP)

Structured Worksheets: Simple Active Learning Strategies to Increase Transparency and Promote Communication.

There are varied pedagogical approaches that promote active learning in the classroom, many of which have been shown to have positive impacts on student outcomes. Simple active learning techniques that do not require costly resources or extensive time investment for faculty may increase the likelihood of instructor adoption and decrease student anxiety or skepticism about such approaches. In two upper-level Neuroscience electives, scaffolded worksheets were utilized to increase transparency in instructor expectations and subsequent assessment, and to support student contributions to learning and group work. Scaffolded worksheets that presented practice questions were provided in a Behavioral Neuroscience course; students completed the worksheets alone or in teams, and course time was used for review and additional clarification. Shared group worksheets were used to support a group project in a mid-level Cognition course. These worksheets delineated expectations for the assignment and gave a timeline for in-class and out-of-class meetings with required individual, graded contributions to support group progress. Worksheets also enabled instructor feedback throughout the project. When surveyed, students responded positively to the worksheets for their ability to support learning and alleviate some of the common concerns associated with group work. This approach was also easily expanded during the pandemic to provide more time for active learning, and to maintain communication and ensure support of student learning during periods of remote learning due to Covid-19. Active learning techniques, particularly those that promote transparency and metacognition, are likely to benefit students and create a more inclusive classroom. Yet care must be used in the implementation of these approaches. In addition, barriers exist to the utilization of active learning, including a lack of support for such work at the institutional level. Greater institutional investment in these approaches will likely broaden their use and extend their impact.

¿Cómo entrenar una habilidad compleja en cirugía?: Evaluación cualitativa de una estrategia basada en simulación / How to train a complex skill in surgery: Qualitative evaluation of a simulation-based strategy

RESUMEN Antecedentes: el aprendizaje de tareas complejas en cirugía requiere la coordinación e integración de habilidades técnicas y no técnicas que impactan en el rendimiento de los equipos de trabajo. Objetivo: presentar la evaluación de una estrategia educativa basada en simulación para el entrena miento de una habilidad compleja en cirugía, desde la perspectiva de los participantes. Material y métodos: en 2019 se desarrolló un curso de 20 horas (6 horas virtuales y 14 presenciales). Participaron 10 profesionales de la salud. Como estrategia se diseñó la integración de actividades de resolución de casos, role playing, práctica con simuladores sintéticos y virtuales y simulación de alta fidelidad. Al finalizar se realizó un cuestionario sobre percepción de aprendizaje y cambios actitudi nales. Resultados: el 50% tuvo percepción de mejora de sus habilidades y conocimientos al finalizar el cur so. Sin embargo, cuando se preguntó por el impacto del curso sobre su actividad profesional, el 80% respondió niveles superiores al aprendizaje percibido. El 100% se refirió a la necesidad de mejorar habilidades no técnicas. Todos calificaron la experiencia como positiva o muy positiva, y con ganas de repetirla. Conclusión: la perspectiva de quienes participaron de este programa formativo da cuenta de la alta aceptación del método. El hacer conscientes las habilidades no técnicas durante la etapa de reflexión sugiere cambios no solo actitudinales sino sobre la autopercepción de eficacia. Creemos que la meto dología de entrenamiento de equipos basado en simulación tiene potencialidad de mejorar el rendi miento global y futuros estudios deberían estar orientados a ello.

ABSTRACT Background: Learning complex tasks in surgical requires the coordination and integration of technical and non-technical skills have an impact on the performance of work teams. Objective: The aim of this study is to report the results of a simulation-based educational strategy for training in complex surgical skills considering the participants' perceptions. Material and methods: In 2019, 10 healthcare professionals participated in a 20-hour course divided in 6 hours of online training and 14 hours of onsite training. The strategy designed included the inte gration of case resolution activities, role-playing, practice with synthetic and virtual simulators and high-fidelity simulation. At the end of the course, a questionnaire was administered to explore partici pants' perceptions on what they had learned and on their attitude changes. Results: Fifty percent of the participants perceived their skills and knowledge improved at the end of the course compared with their perception at the beginning of the course while 80% perceived the impact of the course on their professional activity was good or excellent. All the participants agreed with the need for improving non-technical skills. The experience was rated as positive or very positive by all participants, who were eager to repeat it. Conclusion: The participants' perceptions of this educational program demonstrates that this method is highly accepted. Raising awareness of non-technical skills during the reflection stage suggests the need for changes in attitude and in self-perception of efficacy. We believe that simulation-based tra ining offers the possibility of improving the overall performance of the surgical team. Future studies should focus on this goal.

Community Health Agent: a professional world in search of consolidation / Agente comunitário de saúde: um mundo profissional em busca de consolidação

Abstract The contribution of community health agents (CHAs) is strategic for overcoming the biomedical health model. However, weaknesses in defining the specific roles of this profession impose contradictions and impediments to this work, making it difficult to construct the professional world of CHAs. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the tasks performed by the CHAs to reveal the objects, values, and tools, used by these workers to help consolidate their professional world. This study is a qualitative research study guided by the principles of activity ergonomics that include documentary analysis, systematic observations, and interviews. The results showed that due to the myriad of activities performed by the CHAs, the professional world of these workers is not fully delineated. However, it is believed that the results, analysis, and discussion of the data verified in this research, can support the consolidation of the professional world of the CHAs.

Resumo A contribuição do trabalho dos ACS tem sido apontada como estratégica para superação do modelo biomédico de produção de saúde. No entanto, fragilidades na delimitação dessa profissão impõem contradições e impedimentos a esse trabalho, dificultando a construção do mundo profissional dos ACS. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as tarefas realizadas pelos ACS no intuito de revelar objeto, valores e ferramentas usadas por esses trabalhadores que ajudem na consolidação do seu mundo profissional. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa norteada pelos princípios da Ergonomia da Atividade, que contou com análise documental, observações sistemáticas e entrevistas. Os resultados demonstraram que em virtude de distintas e inúmeras atividades executadas pelos ACS, o mundo profissional desses trabalhadores não está plenamente delineado. Contudo, acredita-se que o resultado, análise e discussão dos dados apurados nesta pesquisa são capazes de apontar elementos que servem para apoiar a consolidação do mundo profissional dos ACS.
