The health litigation is an expression increasingly present in the public institutions of health care in Brazil materialized mainly by warrants for performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, consultations, hospitalizations and dispensation of medical and surgical supplies. The study aims to analyze the process of legalization of health in Brazil, under the Unified Health System, from the health professionals involved in this process. Were defined as specific goals the description of the structure and content of the social representations of litigation of health activities and services within the managers, regulators and health professionals involved in the process of legalization of health; the comparison of the social representations about the legalization of that social group and the discussion of the contents of these representations in the legalization of health process. This is a qualitative study, based on the Theory of Social Representations, conducted with 152 subjects in a university hospital and the central of regulation of procedures and beds in the city of Rio de Janeiro. We applied the free word association technique by the inducing term "health litigation", that were analyzed with the technique of four-digit chart and also 40 semi-structured interviews that were analyzed through thematic content analysis, instrumentalized by NVivo software. 761 words were evoked with average sized orders recall of 3, with maximum and minimum frequency of 17 and 10. The procedural analysis resulted in six categories, with 2257 units of analysis, distributed in 85 themes. It was identified that health professionals have a negative position towards the reality imposed by the l health litigation, however they recognize this feature as required by the Brazilian public health crisis. Health professionals are working under the pressure of the judiciary, with the threat of arrest leading to a stressful routine of their professional practices due to an ineffective action of the State in the implementation of health policy. It is concluded that social representation is in the final stages of consolidation. Considering the social representation as a determinant of practices, we also concluded that the representations that have emerged from this study may contribute to the changing practices of health professionals that operationalize this system. It is expected therefore, that the promotion of improvements occur on the outcome of direct assistance to users seeking the public health institutions to be cared for in their health needs, characterizing thereby a greater challenge that goes towards making advancing democracy and citizenship.
