Objective: to identify the workloads of nursing professionals of the Family Health Strategy,
considering its implications for the effectiveness of universal access. Method: qualitative study
with nursing professionals of the Family Health Strategy of the South, Central West and North
regions of Brazil, using methodological triangulation. For the analysis, resources of the Atlas.ti
software and Thematic Content Analysis were associated; and the data were interpreted based
on the labor process and workloads as theorical approaches. Results: the way of working in the
Family Health Strategy has predominantly resulted in an increase in the workloads of the nursing
professionals, with emphasis on the work overload, excess of demand, problems in the physical
infrastructure of the units and failures in the care network, which hinders its effectiveness as a
preferred strategy to achieve universal access to health. On the other hand, teamwork, affinity
for the work performed, bond with the user, and effectiveness of the assistance contributed to
reduce their workloads. Conclusions: investments on elements that reduce the nursing workloads,
such as changes in working conditions and management, can contribute to the effectiveness of
the Family Health Strategy and achieving the goal of universal access to health. |
