RESUMO

The tool of work as a team is proposed to organize the work in health and nursing as a way to answer to the changes of the model of primary health care and the paradigm of attention to mental health. Recognizing its importance in the current context, took place a systematic review of literature about the work as a team in health and nursing, with the objective of identifying the production and look at it critically, according to the quantity, chronology, nationality, institution of origin and the type of search; reference theoretical and methodological adopted; results and their contributions as a basis of knowledge for the care and management of health services. The theoretical reference used was the work process based in Mendez-Gonçalvez and Mehry, and work in teams, based in Peduzzi. Methodologically, the study followed the path of systematic review, with the active search for publications in databases online through descriptors and keywords related to teamwork. Although the first search has returned a large number of publications (1837 articles), after the various procedures for selecting the relevant literature, were selected 70 publications. The results include the difficulty in researching the topic in databases, particularly given the lack of definition of terms and interdisciplinary work in teams, as well as the lack of methodological rigor and conceptual of the articles. The work in teams was designed as a group and interdisciplinary process, which says positive synergy, coordination, cooperation and collective responsibility, sharing common objectives and interaction between members, possible through communication. The elements identified to characterize the work as a team, beyond those cited in the design, include a professional autonomy, the division of labour flexibility and comprehensiveness of health care. The conclusion of the study highlights the need for deepening of theoretical and empirical research on the issue to justify its theoretical approach, and provide subsidies for the formulation of proposals to improve the practical use of the work as a team, as well as its systematic assessment
