SUMMARY:

Interprofessional work represents the search for comprehensive care, in which different professions work together and in interdependence, sharing common goals, recognizing the importance of each other and forming a team identity. When it occurs with collaborative practices, interprofessionality strengthens the focus on the user and their needs, being, therefore, one of the most effective alternatives in the face of the complexity of the health sphere. The dentist has his work history more centered on the biomedical model, however, when inserted in the Family Health Strategy, he needs to engage in interprofessional teams. This is not yet a prevalent reality, as many dentists are excluded or are excluded from interprofessional work, but there is progress. This study aimed to assess dentists' understanding of interprofessional work, verifying whether they were involved in interprofessional practices with their teams, analyzing the potential and difficulties encountered, in addition to identifying the presence of interprofessional health education in the training of these professionals. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with quantitative-qualitative approaches, carried out with 33 dentists working in the Family Health Strategy of a city in the metropolitan region of Natal/RN. As a collection instrument, for quantitative data, an electronic questionnaire prepared by the author was used with questions about interprofessional practices and education using the Likert scale. Qualitative data were collected through a semi-structured interview with questions about the professional profile, and interprofessional work with its potential and difficulties, including the impacts of COVID-19. Data collection was carried out in February and March 2022, after carrying out a pilot study. The quantitative data obtained were tabulated and analyzed descriptively in Microsoft Excel with the support of the free software R Studio for drawing up the graphs; the qualitative ones were transcribed and submitted to Bardin's content analysis. The results showed that interprofessional practices are already part of dentists' work processes, such as in home visits and participation in care groups. However, the isolated work, the hierarchy within the teams and the lack of incentive from the management make interprofessionality difficult. Most respondents understand what interprofessional work is and described as potentialities: comprehensive care, information sharing, dialogue and professional interest. On the other hand, isolated work, non-incentive of the management, lack of inputs and infrastructure, in addition to the absence of interprofessional training were reported as difficulties for this way of working. The importance of interprofessionality was experienced in the COVID-19 pandemic, with the participation of dentists in activities with other professionals, despite clinical dental losses. Learning and interprofessional practices aim to develop critical reflections that have a positive impact on work processes. However, there is a need for interest and support from those involved in the health system: professionals, managers and users, so that interprofessionality is widespread and effective.
