The research had as a study objective the ethical-political challenges and strategies applied by health social workers in the professional routine for the consolidation of the ethical-political project of Social Work (EPP) and had as main objective, to analyse and acknowledge ethical-political challenges and strategies applied by social workers for the consolidation of the EPP To this end, the following specific objectives were defined: to apprehend the impacts of the health privatist project in the professional exercise of the social worker and to analyse how social workers deal with and evaluate such impacts; to identify and to analyse the strategies and strengthening actions of the ethical-political project by the actions of the Social Work professionals; to identify and to analyse the theoretical-political foundation which references the social workers in the health policy. The perspective adopted for the development of the research was based on the critical-dialectical method, which establishes as main categories within the discovery of reality: the contradiction, the mediation, the historicity and the totality. Throughout the process of approaching the object, categories such as work, ethics and politics were also discussed. Based on this perspective and to achieve the objectives proposed for this investigation, a qualitative approach to the research was defined by the following approaches: bibliographic review, documentary analysis and semi-structured interview. The following criteria for inclusion in the sample were established: being a social worker with a public service exam, working in primary care at the Municipal Health Department of Maceió (Alagoas), being in full professional practice during the interview period and being not in the probationary stage. Due to the distance imposed by the coronavirus pandemic, which has been going since March 2020, only one interview was conducted in person, the others happened via Google Meet. The project was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Onofre Lopes University Hospital (OLUH) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) and the professionals signed on with the authorization to record the interviews. The interview was attended by 12 social workers, making up a percentage of 12% of the professionals working in the primary care of Maceió. The professionals were selected for the interviews by random draw and it had been, initially, opted to draw one professional per district, in which concentrate a lesser number of social workers (II, IV, VI and VIII districts) and two professionals from four district which concentrate a greater number of social workers (I, III, V and VII districts). Nevertheless, it was necessary to resize the division as consequence of the unavailability of social workers of the III sanitary district which was affected by the environmental crime caused by BRASKEM, increasing from 02 to 04 social workers from the VII sanitary district. According to the social workers, this was the territory where most people from the drowning neighborhoods were taken in. From the analyses of the speeches, it was concluded that the social workers has developed strategies for the consolidation of the ethical-political project of the Social Work in the municipality of Maceió basic health units, on account of the continuous information socialization work to the users, articulation with social workers from other health units and from other social services, the constant professional qualification and the evaluation of their practice. It can also be seen to encourage social participation in health management councils and in the groups in the units. There was an incipient articulation with other professional categories, non-governmental organizations and social movements. The principal ethical-political challenges faced and impacts suffered by social workers are national and local conjuncture which are unfavorable to the materialization of said project, in view of, the emphasis of the federal and local governments on strengthening the privatist project in the health policy, which affects the development of the professional actions related to the access and right of users, public and quality social services. It has also been checked by professionals the necessity of greater focus within the planning and the systematization of their actions, such as, greater articulation with other professional categories and with further workers whose principles resemble those defended by the critical professional project, committed by Social Work. The distance between the social workers and the professional representativity entities, it had not appeared as an issue in the speech, regardless, it is considered important the incentive of this approach aiming the strengthening the EPP. These indispensable strategies for maintaining the hegemony of the ethical-political project.
