This qualitative, descriptive-exploratory research
aimed to understand the practical work of the Community
Health Workers regarding domestic accidents among
children below five years old. It was undertaken with eight
professionals registered in a Primary Healthcare Center in
the municipality of Floriano, in the Brazilian State of Piauí.
The data were collected in March 2014, the method was
action-research, and the data were analyzed in accordance
with thematic analysis, in which three categories emerged:
Surveillance of the domestic environment, Educational
strategies aimed at the caregivers, and Conducts regarding the
occurrence of accidents. The data show that it is essential to
plan an appropriate methodology to be undertaken with the
Community Health Workers, which favors the qualification of
their practice in the ambit of children’s health in the context
of domestic accidents. These results may contribute to the rediscussion
of the Continuous Education in Health practices and
encourage investment from the managers of the Unified Health
System in formative and emancipatory educational actions.
