As Reflexões do método da Pesquisa Ação Participativa na Saúde Coletiva
Diálogos com os resultados de uma pesquisa na Atenção Primária à Saúde e outros autores
Abstract
The Participatory Action Research (PAP) method aims to generate interventions for well-defined local problems. It is applied in various fields and types of organizations, such as collective health, improving processes and practices. This article discusses the results obtained in a research that sought to develop actions to address the increasing degree of obesity among users assisted by a Basic Family Health Unit team. It subsequently conducts a brief literature review with other authors who used PAP in their research. Four areas in which PAP has been applied were identified: management, education, communication, and popular participation. It is concluded that PAP is an important methodological strategy for involving and engaging actors in proposing local solutions.
Keywords: Primary Health Care; Health Services Administration; Obesity; Participatory Action Research.
