Gerenciamento de enfermagem no âmbito da estratégia Saúde da Família: Percepções de enfermeiros

Abstract

Objective: to describe nurses' perceptions about Nursing management within the scope of the Family Health Strategy. Method: qualitative, exploratory-descriptive research, developed with eleven nurses working in Family Health Strategies, located in a municipality in the extreme west of Santa Catarina. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews, recorded and transcribed in full. For data analysis, Thematic Content Analysis was used. Results: from the analysis, two thematic categories emerged: nurses' perceptions about Nursing management within the scope of the Family Health Strategy; and, challenges and difficulties faced by nurses in managing the Family Health Strategy. Final considerations: the importance of skills such as leadership, decision-making and autonomy in Nursing management is evident. Furthermore, with the challenges faced, it is clear that management takes place in an unstructured manner and without prior planning of actions, which may have a negative impact on the quality of health care.
