Atração e retenção de profissionais de saúde na estratégia de saúde da família: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The objective of this article was to present the theoretical discussion on the attraction and retention of medical professionals in the Family Health Strategy (FHS), primary care, in Brazil, showing the importance of Human Resources in health. To achieve this goal, a bibliographic search was carried out. The motivation for the work arises from the challenges to the management of Human Resources, especially the high turnover of doctors in the Family Health Strategy that has been following the natural reconfiguration of the work process in this sector. This point is a compromising factor of longitudinal and continuous care for the health of the user, a practice of fundamental importance for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, as well as compliance with essential attributes recommended by the FHS. Therefore, the issues involving such themes imply a deep and permanent debate, which can be carried out in practice among the managers involved in this process, also in the academy as this study proposes.
