CONTRIBUIÇÕES DO/A ASSISTENTE SOCIAL NA ATENÇÃO BÁSICA DE SAÚDE

Abstract

The social health determinants are necessary elements for people to access health broadly. The human right to adequate food constitutes the most relevant determinant of human survival. However, in a society in which social rights are marketed, problems like food and nutritional insecurity are present in the reality of many Brazilian families. In this way, Social Workers are called to act in an ethical and compromised way, especially with social equipment, like in Basic Health Units (BHS), spaces that are, generally, located in peripheral neighborhoods with high violence, unemployment, and social inequality indicators. This research, then, has a qualitative and exploratory nature and aims to comprehend how the negation of social health determinants interferes with occurrences and/or prevalences of food and nutrition insecurity in families located in BHS Sinharinha Borges on Barrocas neighborhood in Mossoró - RN city. The shown analysis was possible through field research, with a semistructured interview, with posterior documental and bibliographical analysis. The results have shown satisfactory and answered the proposed goals and demonstrated that the denial of social determinants interferes directly with the reality of families that are at risk or state of food and nutritional insecurity.
