RESUMO

The nurses practice in the Home Care Service (SAD) provided by the Municipal Health Secretariat of Ribeirão Preto - São Paulo State (SMS-RP) comprises the object of this investigation. We aimed at analyzing the process of organization of nursing home care through the SAD of the SMC-RP by pointing out its limits and potentialities as a triggering element for transformation in the nursing practice as well as in the current care model by understanding healthcare and the nursing practice as types of work. We assumed that home care can constitute a space for the construction of a way to perform which is based on the integrality of actions, responsibility in relation to clients, team identity and the establishment of various intersectional spaces with the intense use of light technology so as to enable the formation of ties, listening and autonomy, thus escaping from a strict perspective of controlling clients at home. The subjects of the research were nurses working in the SAD and empirical data were collected through the focal group technique. Semi-structured interviews with the staff of the SAD in the central level of he SMS-RP and documental sources were also utilized. Data were organized by means of the Collective Enunciators Discourse - DSC, where we sought to articulate Key Expressions in the individual accounts with Main Topics, aiming at recovering social discourse. The research showed two thematic sets which were separately presented, but effectively contained a close theoretical and practical articulation demonstrating that, although incipient, there is a potentiality for the SAD to become a device in the transformation of healthcare and the nursing practice which can be processually installed at least in the practice of nurses performing this type of work. The experience in the SAD has provided the opportunity for self-questioning, reflection and the process of reviewing conducts. We emphatically point out the importance attributed by nurses to light technology which is considered to be fundamental for healthcare work and particularly in home care, thus incorporating the subjective dimension inherent to all types of production in the healthcare work process. Investment on the preparation of workers for the development of skills in order to perform in home care, the perspective of establishing ties and a more humanized and welcoming relationship has also been pointed out as fundamental. Furthermore, it was also possible to evince the work production in the SAD, which is experienced with limitations, frustrations, but also with involvement, creativity, responsibility and satisfaction. These agents recognize the need to apprehend the process of change as a slow means as well as the need for spaces in order to discuss their achievements and obstacles. In addition, workers must be willing to constantly accept to be reviewed as well as review the work process.
