RESUMO

Based on the Public Health theoretical framework, this research paper aims to analyze the nursing work carried out by Health Centers in the City of Campinas (São Paulo, Brazil) in a moment that the health care model is undergoing changes fostered by the Paidéia Family Health Project (PFHP). More specifically, an understanding of the changes in the nursing working process after PFHP s implementation was sought together with an identification of the nursing practice object, aims, means, tools and work in itself. Data were gathered by means of semi-structured interviews with nurses, nursing aides and coordinators in five Health Centers as well as by participant observation. Three major analytical categories emerged from data analysis: Changes in the Nursing Work, Health Needs and Receptivity, which were ali discussed and subdivided into relevant structures in order to get the constituting components of the nursing work (namely, the object, aims, means, tools and the work in itself). Although the PFHP s implementation in the Health Centers under study was shown to cause changes in nursing work, the nursing work process still focuses mainly on the individual biologic body and the wear and tear on it, being largely approached with knowledge and practice stemming from the Clinical view, thus failing to both truly recognize the complexity of the users health needs and successfully meet his/her full needs. Such difficulties must be overcome if the Public Health Nursing intervention is to be reconstructed in order to provide health services focused on the collective epidemiological profile and designed to their successful improvement
