Pelejas da perspectiva da educação popular nas experiências de educação em saúde no cotidiano da residência multiprofissional em atenção básica da EMCM/UFRN

Abstract

his is an Experience Report, carried out through participant observation, using the Field Diary as its central tool. It aims to carry out an approximate and critical dialogue between the perspective of Popular Education and the experiences/actions/activities of Health Education carried out or articulated by residents in Basic Health Units and their territories, in the city of Currais Novos – RN, in the section period from March 2022 to November 2023, in which they are inserted through the Multiprofessional Residency in Health at the Multicampi School of Medical Sciences (EMCM), at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), with an emphasis on Basic Care. It systematizes and analyzes the experiences recorded in the Field Diary based on a guide script and the registered-systematized-reflected practice dialogues with the pedagogy of Paulo Freire and Popular Health Education. In this way, we can reflect that Health Education actions are carried out almost full-time in SUS Primary Care services. It is interesting that we reflect on the ways in which these Health Education activities, actions and experiences can occur: whether in an authoritarian, hierarchical way between the subjects involved and blaming behaviors; or if in a way that values ​​the popular, not merely informative, seeking to “make sense” for the user population, meet their health needs, considering people's stories and conditions, the customs of territories, the different forms of organization of populations, among others.
