Resumo: Objective. To understand and to reflect about care based on the experiences of managers, professionals and users of maternal and child health services. Methods. We developed an evaluative research with a qualitative approach in a Northeastern state of Brazil with extensive experience in the regionalization and implementation process of integrated health networks. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 68 subjects and direct observation of the maternal and child health services. We adopted the theoretical reference framework of Gadamer’s hermeneutics to analyze the narratives. Results. Some units of meaning were present, such as: perception and knowledge about oneself; exercise of autonomy; weaknesses in the provision of resources for the materialization of self-care; and difficulties in accessing health services and care practices. We perceive that care is dynamic, comprises various subjective aspects with respect to the singularities of the subjects and is related to the possibility of generating both individual and collective transformation. Conclusion. Care is built based on a movement among the subjects and between them and the social and health services. Thus, when we intend to take care, we need to consider this instead of focusing care solely on the technical support of health professionals.

Compreender e refletir sobre o cuidado à luz das experiências de gestores, profissionais e usuárias dos serviços de saúde materna e infantil. Métodos. Desenvolvemos uma pesquisa avaliativa com abordagem qualitativa em um estado do nordeste brasileiro com vasta experiência no processo de regionalização e implantação de redes integradas. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 68 sujeitos e observação direta dos serviços de saúde materna e infantil. Adotamos o referencial teórico da hermenêutica de Gadamer para análise das narrativas. Resultados. Algumas unidades de significado estiveram presentes, como: percepção e o conhecimento sobre si; exercício da autonomia; fragilidades na oferta de recursos para a materialização do cuidar de si; e, dificuldades quanto ao acesso aos serviços de saúde e às práticas de cuidado. Percebemos que o cuidado é dinâmico, compreende aspectos subjetivos diversos em respeito às singularidades dos sujeitos e está relacionado com a possibilidade de gerar transformação tanto individual como coletiva. Conclusão. O cuidado se constrói a partir de um movimento entre os sujeitos e entre eles e os serviços sociais e de saúde. Desta forma, quando pretendemos cuidar, devemos partir deste horizonte e não centrar o cuidado, unicamente, no apoio técnico dos profissionais de saúde.Objetivo. Comprender y reflexionar sobre el cuidado a luz de las experiencias de directivos, profesionales y usuarios de los servicios de salud materna e infantil. Métodos. Se desarrolló una investigación de evaluación con enfoque cualitativo en un estado en el noreste de Brasil, con una amplia experiencia en el proceso de regionalización e implementación de redes. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 68 sujetos y la observación directa de los servicios de salud materna e infantil. Se adoptó el referencial teórico de la hermenéutica de Gadamer para el análisis de las narrativas. Resultados. Estuvieron presentes algunas unidades de significado, como la percepción y conocimiento sobre sí, el ejercicio de la autonomía, las debilidades en la oferta de recursos para la materialización del cuidar de sí mismos y dificultades en el acceso a los servicios de salud y a las prácticas de cuidado. Se percibió que el cuidado es dinámico, se compone de aspectos subjetivos diversos en relación con las singularidades de los sujetos y está asociado a la posibilidad de generar transformación individual y colectiva. Conclusión. El cuidado se construye a partir de un movimiento entre los sujetos y entre éstos y los servicios sociales y de salud. De esta forma, cuando pretendemos cuidar, debemos partir de este horizonte y no centrar únicamente el cuidado en el apoyo técnico de los profesionales de la salud.Investigación y educación en enfermería2018-03-06T16:34:24Z2018-03-06T16:34:24Z2017info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfTAJRA, F.
