Resumo: Community Health Agents (CHA) are essential for the work of Primary Health Care (PHC) to be successful, but they may encounter obstacles in their performance. The goal of the study was to understand the importance of Community Health Agents in the work of territorialization in the Municipality of Itaperuna-RJ. For this, an exploratory field research was carried out with the application of a questionnaire to the CHA of the municipality, respecting the ethical aspects recommended by Resolution 466/2012. The following inclusion criteria were established: CHA aged between 18 and 60 years and working in the CEHAB or Surubi communities. For exclusion: CHA who did not reside in the studied territory. Thus, 14 professionals participated in the study, with the following results predominating: they consider that the profession makes it possible to help the community (53.8%), but this help is limited (33.3%); carry out planning of their activities (83.3%); have already acquired diseases resulting from their work (86.7%), mainly Covid-19 (33.3%); have only elementary education (83.3%); the main factor that harms the professional relationship is misinformation (58.3%); the advantage of living and working in the same territory is the proximity (66.7%) and the disadvantage is the demand from the population outside working hours (41.7%). It was concluded that this professional is essential for the promotion of improvements, but there are several challenges, such as the fact that 50% CHA interviewed say that they did not receive the proper training.

El objetivo del estudio fue comprender la importancia de los Agentes Comunitarios de Salud en el trabajo de territorialización en el Municipio de Itaperuna-RJ. Para ello, se realizó una investigación de campo exploratoria con la aplicación de un cuestionario a la ACS del municipio, respetando los aspectos éticos recomendados por la Resolución 466/2012. Se establecieron los siguientes criterios de inclusión: ACS con edad entre 18 y 60 años y que trabajen en las comunidades CEHAB o Surubi. Y por exclusión: ACS que no residían en el territorio estudiado. Así, 14 profesionales participaron del estudio, con predominio de los siguientes resultados: consideran que la profesión posibilita ayudar a la comunidad (53,8%), pero esa ayuda es limitada (33,3%); realizar la planificación de sus actividades (83,3%); ya han adquirido enfermedades derivadas de su trabajo (86,7%), principalmente Covid-19 (33,3%); tienen solo educación primaria (83,3%); el principal factor que perjudica la relación profesional es la desinformación (58,3%); la ventaja de vivir y trabajar en el mismo territorio es la proximidad (66,7%) y la desventaja es la demanda de la población fuera del horario laboral (41,7%). Se concluyó que este profesional es fundamental para la promoción de mejoras, pero existen varios desafíos, como el hecho de que el 50% de los ACS entrevistados dice que no recibió la formación adecuada.Os Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) são essenciais para que o trabalho da assistência da Atenção Primária de Saúde (APS) possa ter êxito, mas podem encontrar obstáculos em sua atuação. O objetivo do estudo foi compreender a importância dos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde no trabalho da territorialização no Município de Itaperuna-RJ. Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo exploratória com a aplicação de um questionário aos ACS do município, respeitando os aspectos éticos preconizados pela Resolução 466/2012. Estabeleceu-se os seguintes critérios de inclusão: ACS com idade entre 18 e 60 anos e que atuam nas comunidades CEHAB ou Surubi. E para a exclusão: ACS que não residiam no território estudado. Assim, 14 profissionais participaram do estudo, predominando os seguintes resultados: consideram que a profissão possibilita ajudar a comunidade (53,8%), mas essa ajuda é limitada (33,3%);  realizam planejamento de suas atividade (83,3%); já adquiriram doenças decorrentes do ofício (86,7%), principalmente a Covid-19 (33,3%); possuem apenas o ensino fundamental (83,3%); o principal fator que prejudica a relação profissional é a desinformação (58,3%); a vantagem de residir e trabalhar no mesmo território é a proximidade (66,7%) e a desvantagem é a procura da população fora do horário de expediente (41,7%). Concluiu-se que esse profissional é essencial para a promoção de melhorias, mas existem diversos desafios, como por exemplo o fato de 50% ACS entrevistados afirmarem que não receberam a devida capacitação.Research, Society and Development2022-07-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3185310.33448/rsd-v11i9.31853Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 9; e33711931853Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 9; e33711931853Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 9; e337119318532525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/31853/27192Copyright (c) 2022 Vinícius Rodrigues Mendonça; Paulo Cavalcante Apratto Junior; Marcelo Resende Machado; José Elias Filhohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMendonça, Vinícius RodriguesApratto Junior, Paulo CavalcanteMachado, Marcelo Resende Elias Filho, José 2022-07-21T12:36:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/31853Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:48:03.185881Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
