Resumo: | Abstract Objective: To evaluate the levels of engagement of Primary Health Care professionals in two municipalities. Methods: A descriptive study was carried out with 238 health professionals who work in the Primary Care services of two municipalities in the state of São Paulo. The engagement dimensions of the professionals were investigated through the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. Results: Female predominance (82.8%), age under 40 years (52.9%). Median working time in primary care of three (municipality A), four years (municipality B). Significant difference in levels of engagement in both municipalities. Community health agents presented mean scores in all dimensions. Significant difference in levels of engagement according to professional category in all dimensions. Conclusion and implications for practice: Municipal health professionals with 100.0% coverage by the Family Health Strategy tend to have higher levels of engagement. Nurses presented greater engagement; community health workers reached lower levels than other professionals did. Engagement is an indicator that contributes to the evaluation of the workforce in the Primary Health Care services and can be used to direct strategies that improve the levels of dedication, absorption and vigor of the professionals, benefiting the organization of the primary care services. |
