The Singular Therapeutic Project (STP) is a not yet currently incorporated practice into the routine of most health care teams in the basic health attention and it is still poorly widespread and developed, despite its great potential in the construction of new realities, especially with regard to complex cases. Taking this context into consideration, studies in this area are justified in order to shed some light on the realities of these teams in relation to the use of STP as a health care management tool within the Family Health Strategy (FHS). In this sense, this study presents an exploratory qualitative research that sought to investigate how a team of FHS and another one of a Family Health Support Nucleus (FHSN), which supports the team of FHS investigated, use the STP in its territory, with specific objectives of: getting to know the meanings assigned to the notions of Expanded Clinic, Matrix Support and Singular Therapeutic Project by the FHSN and FHS teams’ professionals; identifying how teams communicate and team up for the construction of the STP and for the execution of matrix support; and identifying the potentialities and difficulties experienced by the teams in using STP as a care management tool. For this, the research methodological approach was developed through semi-structured individual interviews and focus groups with the professionals of the teams of a small city of the state Rio Grande do Norte. The data produced by the interviews and the focus groups were organized and categorized based on the content analysis proposed by Bardin (2011). The three axes of analysis were: 1) multiprofessionality, co-responsibility and resolvability; 2) conceptions of STP, difficulties, lack of experience and knowledge about STP; and 3) articulation and planning of actions. In general, the study pointed to the construction of STP as not being a regular practice, being a tool that does not take part in the daily life of the health teams and services in basic health attention, although it is recognized as important for the expansion of actions and solution of the users’ problems. In addition to that, besides the STP is not seen as a tool of daily use, it is unknown by many professionals and the health teams lack experiences that potentialize STP use in a systematic and shared way in the health care production spaces. In this way, it is important that actions towards qualification on health attention for the use of STP are developed together with the teams, among other tools for care management in an integral and shared way.Acesso AbertoProjetos terapêuticos singularesAtenção integral à saúdeNúcleos de apoio à saúde da famíliaApoio matricialmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA: SAÚDE DA FAMÍLIA NO NORDESTE
