Estratégia saúde da família como espaço de insatisfação e satisfação profissional

The factors that interfere with the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of professionals working in the Family Health Strategy are diverse. The objective of the study was to identify the factors of satisfaction and dissatisfaction of professionals of the Family Health Strategy in the municipality of Forquilhinha (SC). This is a mixed-methods, descriptive and exploratory study, carried out with 15 health professionals from three health units by means of semi- structured interviews. The data were analyzed according to thematic content analysis, with the help of the Atlas.TI 9.0 software. The results generated 72 codes, linked to five subcategories, associated with two categories. The groups of dissatisfaction and satisfaction factors found involve: the performance in the daily routine, structure and services of the units and the health system, labor rights, the organization of the performance elements, and the interpersonal relationships with colleagues, users and managers. Satisfaction is indicated mainly by the relationship with colleagues and the division of tasks among professionals. On the other hand, the lack of recognition and the devaluation, besides the work overload, are the main reasons for dissatisfaction. The aspects that generate satisfaction and dissatisfaction among professionals are multiple and even ambiguous and can contribute to hinder or improve health care delivery.
