Critical Processes and Collective Practices in Health Matrix

Abstract

From the point of view of a community approach, in the context of the Specialization in General and Family Medicine of the UNC, a sector of Villa El Libertador neighborhood was defined as a Care Population Space (CPS), and this definition aimed at the collective elaboration of a Critical Process Matrix (CPM) and the strengthening of links with neighbors to generate collective strategies that promote protective processes and reduce the deteriorating epidemiological profile of this community. The first approach was achieved through interviews with territorial references and via direct observation. In a second instance, a survey was carried out using tools for family practice, and a meeting was arranged for the return, exchange and collective construction of the MPC. In this process, the community identified the need to be organized around environmental issues such as garbage management, and to create meeting spaces that would strengthen ties and improve communication with neighbors, while contributing to overall well-being. It can be  concluded that achievements in the realm of the collective problematization of environmental issues, the organization of workshops involving local neighbors, the insertion of the proposed task in the dynamics of the neighborhood, and the resignification of this experience in our training as family physicians need to be highlighted and valued.
