- Abstract
Introduction: Graduated health professionals are protagonists of the actions agreed in the Primary Attention to Health, determining different directions in the work process in health. Nurses and physicians, acting as a team, are central actors in the health work process at the primary level. Objective: To identify the social-professional profile of primary health care nurses and doctors in a geographic micro-region in the state of Minas Gerais, considering its performance in low risk prenatal care. Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative and census-based study was carried out with 135 nurses and physicians working at the primary health care in the geographic micro-region. Data were collected by structured interviews. Absolute and relative frequency measurements were used to describe the population. Pearson's chi-square test was used to verify the difference in the socio-professional profile among the professionals. A significance level of p < 0.05 was considered. Results: 74 nurses (54.8%) and 61 physicians (45.2%) participated in the study. The health professionals investigated were predominantly young, female, post-graduate, with little time of professional and work unit experience. Conclusion: Nurses and physicians have similar social-professional profile, with a difference mainly in the undergraduate institution (public and private).
