EDUCAÇÃO EM SAÚDE NA PERCEPÇÃO DE AGENTES COMUNITÁRIOS DE SAÚDE

It’s a qualitative study developed from the understanding that education on health is one of the pillars of the Community Health Agents-CHA work. The objective of this research was to understand the conception of this theme by CHA. The sample was non-probabilistic by saturation. Data was analyzed through the Coletive subject discourse technique. Three central ideas were unveiled from the CHA speeches regarding health education: educate by example, to present lectures and guidance, and that is something hard to do. It was concluded that the CHA knowledge about health education is based on the traditional conception of education.
