Abstract:

This paper presents a qualitative analysis of data from two focus groups with twenty workers of Centers for Psychosocial Care (CAPS I) in southern of Brazil in 2009. They were invited to talk about overload and dissatisfaction at work in general and also concerning recent demands of crack cocaine users. Workers reported in both groups a strong concern about the instability of employment contracts, which are usually of short term, low pay and limited information, leading to reduced possibility of planning future. In addiction, the accumulation of tasks to supply shortages of teams justifies a limited interest in long-term actions planning and the option for less complex tasks. Court orders and the interference of public officials, like politicians or council members on requests of hospitalization are unfavorable conditions in the perception of health workers. It was indicated the expectation that family members have a cooperative and not plaintiff attitude and also that the user arrive motivated for treatment. Teams seem to be the center of a conflict between the impossibility of avoiding the emergence of demands among people who come to local health networks and the limits established by management, increasing dissatisfaction and overload perceived.
