Health strategy and bonding construction in the control of pulmonary tuberculosis in Rocinha-RJ

Abstract

Objective: to analyze the establishment of bonding between health professionals from the Family Health Strategy team of Rocinha/RJ with users suffering from tuberculosis (TB). Method: this was a descriptive study with a quantitative approach. A questionnaire was applied to 145 health care professionals containing questions related to bonding. Results: 95,15% of interviewees responded that patients are always assisted by the same professional in the team each time they demand health assistance. All interviewees stated that they search for users when they miss appointments or do not attend medicine scheduled intakes, or do not pick up medication in the correct date. Conclusion: through the obtained data and only based on the interviewed professionals, we can infer that there are situations that may characterize bonding.
