Abstract

This study aimed to understand the context in which the Family Health Strategy Community Health Worker’s
network of relationships and inter-relationships develops. Grounded Theory was used as a methodological framework; the data
was collected between February and April 2009 in a Local Health Unit in Florianópolis in Santa Catarina, through interviews held
with 21 participants distributed in three sample groups. From the analysis, it stands out that the interaction between Community
Health Workers, service users and the team takes place through home visits, meetings, therapeutic groups and socializing with
the team. It is concluded that the context of relationships and inter-relationships is broad, as their activities are directly linked to
the community, overcoming the Local Unit’s limitations. It is indicated that the informal meetings promoted by the team are an
important strategy for forming the link between professionals and Community Health Workers.
