RESUMO

This work has been focused on a research carried out at the Health Basic Network of the municipalities belonging to the Metropolitan Region of Campinas - RMC [MRC] aiming to describe and assess the actions developed by nutritionists. The research method used has been that of the quanti-qualitative analysis, performing 12 interviews with nutritionists of eight municipalities belonging to MRC. The instrument used has been that of a semi-structured questionnaire, with both closed and open questions. Right afterwards the individual interviews, the focal group technique has been applied with tive nutritionists of different municipalities. The interviews and discussions have ali been recorded, transcribed and qualitatively analyzed by means of the dialectical hermeneutic analysis. Out of the 19 municipalities, just eight may count with a MRC nutritionist. The hiring ways were several: a professional was hired to work at the Education Department and presently is rendering services at the MRC only; tive were specitically hired to work at the MRC; three of them were hired to work in another area and have had MRC functions added to their job description and three have been hired for specitic services. Concerning the functions performed by the professional, some stand out: prescriptions and individual dietetic orientation, lectures for groups, campaigns, participation in programs of supplementation, sanitation surveillance and home visits. One may draw the conclusion that less than half of the municipalities may count with services of the MRC nutritionists, whose number is insufficient. The tendency is to drive the nutritionist to accumulate functions in different sectors with preponderance of attending activities over those related to health promotion
