SUMMARY:

The NASF were created with the objective of strengthening, integrating and expanding the activities developed by the Health Familly , being a specialized support of performance guided by Matrix Support. In the work routine, there are some obstacles for the NASF to be effective in the face of the health situations of the territories it supports. Thus, the objective of this study is to understand the work process of the NASF in a capital city in northeastern Brazil, based on the perception of its professionals. This is a case study with a qualitative approach, carried out with 11 professionals. For data collection, the semi-structured interview and empirical field observation were used. The data were processed through Content Analysis, categorizing the findings using the Thematic Analysis modality. All participants were publicly contested in the municipality, distributed in three NASF teams, the majority being female (n = 9), with an average age of 56 years. The professional categories that were interviewed include Physiotherapists, Physical Education Professionals, Nutritionists, Psychologists and Social Workers. From the analysis of the empirical material, five thematic categories emerged: The NASF work agent; labor relations and their implications for health practices; an incorporation of NASF's means of work; presentation of the work scenario of NASF professionals; and the paths taken, the future and uncertainties. According to the data obtained, there was no training in health that would instrumentalize professionals for SUS, the work with the supported teams develops in a distant way, with isolated actions, and the work relations with the management are marked by a lack of dialogue between peers and pressure for productivism. Regarding Matrix Support, professionals recognize their conceptual aspects, but there is still the reproduction of the logic of referral and a defense by activities of assistance nature. Work tools are also recognized, but underutilized in conducting cases. In the groups conducted by the NASF, although they did not present a defined methodology, efforts were noticed to incorporate practices based on Popular Education in Health. The work scenario has some limitations, such as the precariousness of the Health Care Networks and lack of inputs and materials for the development of activities. Even so, it is evident that the provision of NASF services has broadened the scope of the ESF's actions and the professionals note that it is not possible to discuss resolvability of the service without mentioning points that interfere with the work developed. Faced with the new PNAB, some professionals feel comfortable prioritizing individual care and others recognize the threat of losing the matrix function of the Centers. NASF still faces many difficulties in establishing itself as decisive and essential for PHC in Brazil. It is necessary to review the guiding documents of the work so that its performance is enhanced, redirecting the practices for the defense of Matrix Support as guiding this work, in order to strengthen the permanence of the NASF with the Family Health of Brazil.
